BENEFITS OF
MEMBERSHIP
BY: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association
It’s that time of year
again. If you have not
already renewed your
dues to the Illinois
Paralegal Association
now is the time to get it
done. If the question is
why, let me elaborate.
As a member of a
profession that works
under fairly strict
guidelines (i.e. giving no
legal advice, taking no
clients, setting no fees,
working under the
supervision of an
attorney) then it is
imperative to always
remain on top of current
topics in the areas of
ethics, regulations and
rules, and continuing
legal education. How do
you do that?
One way to keep
informed of new trends,
of seminars and other
types of continuing
education, and to
network is to be a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association.
The IPA offers many
benefits to members
including the Outlook,
the tri-annual email
publication, and
Lookout, the monthly
newsletter, which are
emailed to all members.
The IPA also offers
other publications to
members including the
Code of Ethics, the
Salary Survey and the
Manual for Professional
Paralegal.
The IPA plans social
functions for paralegals
to meet and mingle to
increase networking
opportunities. These
functions have included
golf outings, boat
cruises, nights at
Ravinia, bowling, wine
sampling and more.
These social functions
can be critical to career
development by
establishing a contact
base for information,
advice and support.
An important part of
IPA member benefits is
the membership to the
National Federation of
Paralegal Associations.
It’s a bonus. By being a
member of the IPA,
members are also
automatically enrolled
as members of NFPA.
