Should paralegals be certified? That is a question often debated in New York and across the United States. The American Bar Association has been certifying paralegal education programs since 1975, but it doesn't certify paralegals, specifically. For other organizations that do provide such certification, the weight it carries can vary and the need for it has yet to be determined.
LONDON, Nov. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The IOP is lobbying government to extend paralegal rights and recognition in a number of areas. One area is an amendment to the Employment Rights Act 1996, so as to include paralegals on the statutory list of 'relevant legal advisers' in respect of employment Compromise Agreements ("CAs"). This is not the dry, rather technical, issue it might at first appear. Right now, employers and employees in dispute are being obliged to use a limited pool of legal advisors whether they wish to or not, and as a result are often obliged to pay more than they ought to for that privilege.
The Paralegal Association of Rochester Inc. held its annual meeting and election of officers on May 19 at the Italian American Community Center, in Gates. A marvelous dinner was had by all and then, as dessert was being served, the fire alarm went off. Everyone moved outside so the fire department could clear the building, giving us the opportunity to have much more networking and lots of laughs.
For the past several years, the Paralegal Association of Rochester has recognized a paralegal for his or her achievements. The Paralegal of the Year Award is presented at PAR's annual meeting.
The National Association of Legal Assistants Inc. has presented its Affiliated Associations Award to the Lancaster Area Paralegal Association. LAPA was recognized for its Wills for Heroes program, implemented in partnership with the Lancaster Bar Association.
It sure looks as though it is going to be a busy year for the Paralegal Association of Rochester. This past July, the PAR president was kind enough to host a summer board meeting at her place of residence. A multitude of topics were discussed openly and brought to resolution.

Webster University's paralegal studies programs are on probation for American Bar Association approval because of a lack of a permanent director. Concerns raised by the ABA also have led the St. Louis-based university to stop accepting students into a Master of Arts program in legal studies and consider offering another program as an online degree.
