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 our informative seminars, and joining in the discussion.
