FAPA HAS A NEW MEMBERSHIP LEVEL FOR INDIVIDUALS and CORPORATIONS!

Many individual paralegals and corporations wanted to support FAPA and become a member, but until recently FAPA was only open to paralegal associations in Florida. 

In response to this demand, FAPA has now changed its bylaws and created at-large membership level for individuals, and a patron membership level for corporations! 

Please see our Membership web page for more detail, and to download registration forms.
