NFPA SurveyAttention MembersThe American Bar Association is doing their due diligence to survey paralegal associations regarding how members of our profession are referred to or titled, i.e. paralegal, legal assistant, etc. You may recall that in their response to NFPA’s Marketing the Paralegal Profession Committee’s letter, they indicated that they would be surveying associations to determine whether they should remove the term “legal assistant” from their definition of a paralegal as we requested. It’s a short survey, and if you would take the few minutes to respond, it would be much appreciated! We want as many NFPA members to respond to this as possible so that our collective voice is heard!
