Paralegal Section
The Paralegal Section was established in 2001 to represent paralegals and legal assistants working as paralegals, who are an integral part of the legal practice.
The goals and objectives of the Section are:
- To expand membership;
- To provide opportunities for paralegals to grow and develop professional skills; thereby becoming an integral partner with both the legal community and community at large;
- To promote the professional role of the paralegal through the implementation of ethical standards and responsibilities;
- To participate and assist in activities providing pro bono services to the community;
- To be contributing members of the Fairfax Bar Association;
- To mentor those entering the paralegal profession; to support established paralegals through educational programs that enhance the profession; and
- To encourage and support those members who seek credentialing for the Paralegal Advanced Competency Exam (PACE), the Certified Paralegal Exam (CP), as well as the pursuit of post secondary and post graduate degrees within the profession.
Section Membership is $25.00 for FBA members. For more information on how to join the Paralegal Section, send an e-mail to fba@fairfaxbar.org.
