Getting The Most From Your Paralegal Membership

By Whitney Babbitt

You’ve joined the IndyBar as a paralegal, but are you getting the most from your membership? As paralegal certificates that require Continuing Legal Education credits become the professional standard for paralegals, our committee provides CLEs on a range of topics throughout the year. The weekly IndyBar E-Bulletin contains news and information from across the industry in one place to help you stay updated on changes in the profession.

The Paralegal Committee is also committed to providing opportunities for our members to network with other professionals in the city. Members can use the IndyBar paralegal listserve to communicate with other paralegals about job openings, events and professional tips and tricks. The committee also hosts social gatherings of members, the Paralegal Appreciation Luncheon and the annual holiday luncheon. 

Other benefits of IndyBar membership include access to the Job Bank, document library and free monthly headshot sessions. We are committed to providing our paralegal members with educational and professional opportunities to advance your career. And remember, paralegals members can join any of the IndyBar’s committees or sections! To join a section or division, visit indybar.org/updatesections!
