LGPA needs your knowledge and experience.
Membership with the Local Government Paralegal Association provides a forum for local government paralegals to exchange ideas and share information and professional experiences unique to a local government office. Members have the opportunity to obtain continuing education and professional development in their specific areas of practice, as well as learn about what’s going on generally in the paralegal profession.
