Our goal is for the Paralegal Division website to be a useful tool for paralegals in performing daily tasks and research. In order to accomplish this goal, we invite you to explore this part of the NCBA Web site and provide us with your comments.
Since it began in the 1960's, the paralegal profession has evolved into much more than a step to law school. Paralegals continue to assume a more comprehensive role in providing legal services to clients by performing a wide range of tasks that contribute to cost-effective, high-quality legal services for clients. The professional relationship between an attorney and a paralegal can be an asset to a law firm of any size.
The division, with more than 1,294 members, sponsors CLE programs and services; provides members with a substantive newsletter; and helps mold the association's legislative agenda for presentation to the N.C. General Assembly. The newsletter, Paralegal Perspectives (formerly LAD News), offers an index of its articles and CLE topics.
