New York Assembly Files Bill to License Paralegals

Bill AO8532 was introduced in the New York Assembly on July 13, 2011 to amend the education law with the purpose of requiring licensure for paralegals. The Bill adds a new article 167 to establish a program which would require licensure of paralegals practicing in New York. The program will define the scope of paralegal practice, establish application and renewal fees, and create an independent board to adopt rules and regulations.

Who We Are

FAPA is the group of local paralegal associations from around Florida which
lobbied the Florida Legislature to introduce mandatory paralegal regulation
in 2005 and 2006, and again in 2011.  The proposed legislation introduced in
2005, and 2006 induced The Florida Bar to create the Florida Registered
Paralegal (FRP) program.  Although the formation of the FRP program was a
stepping  stone  in  our efforts to bring mandatory regulation for the
paralegals  of  Florida,  our work is not done.  Please support FAPA's
continued state-wide initiatives on behalf of all paralegals in Florida, by
joining us for this informative seminar.
