BAR LIAISON

BAR LIAISON COMMITTEE

The Committee’s current goal is to continue its strong working relationship with the Alaska Bar and to work with the Bar to ultimately establish a voluntary Alaska Paralegal Registration program to continue to promote professional development and further define paralegals' roles and responsibilities within Alaska.

One of the Committees’ main responsibilities is to serve as liaison between AAP and the bar associations. Additional responsibilities of this Committee include maintaining contact with NFPA’s Bar Liaison for updates to AAP’s members of national news concerning paralegals; attending bar meetings when the content is of interest to AAP; promoting collaboration between AAP’s CLE Committee and the Alaska Bar in co-presentation of CLEs; and encouraging the Alaska Bar to promote paralegal continuing legal education to enhance legal services provided to Alaskans.

The Committee keeps AAP’s members updated of the bar associations’ future events that may be of interest to paralegals through this page, AAP’s quarterly newsletter, and/or member broadcast emails.
