4—LEGAL EMPLOYMENT WEEKLY
ILLINOIS
PARALEGAL
ASSOCIATION
By: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the IPA
It has been some time
since I discussed the Illinois
Paralegal Association: what
it is and what it does.
Today’s article reminds us
about the IPA.
The IPA was established
1973 as Chicago Associa-
tion of Paralegal Assistants
[CAPA], and was a founding
charter member of NFPA.
By 1976 the association had
already expanded to include
members outside Chicago
and the articles of incorpora-
tion were amended and
CAPA became known as
Illinois Paralegal Associa-
tion.
The purpose of the Asso-
ciation is to promote com-
munication between the
paralegal profession, the
legal profession and other
organizations; to encourage
the continuing education of
paralegals and to inform
members of developments
in the paralegal profession
and to engage in any activi-
ties, permitted by law, to
promote the paralegal pro-
fession
The IPA has grown to
include slightly under 1700
members. The membership
includes member categories
of regular, associate, student
and sustaining.
The IPA is a volunteer
organization. The Board of
Directors handles the opera-
tion of the IPA with the
assistance of the Executive
Director. There are eleven
elected directors with five 2
year terms on odd years and
six terms on even years.
The Executive Director is
a vital part of the IPA. She
links members, assists with
communication, mailings,
and generally provides a sta-
ble link for the membership.
Many committees have
been formed to take on tasks
in the IPA. They perform
tasks critical to the IPA and
its members. Some of the
committees are: Education,
Ethics Task Force, The
Lookout Editor, NFPA rep-
resentatives, Outlook Editor,
Pro Bono, Professional Liai-
son, Recovery of fees, Reg-
ulation, Standards, and Stu-
dent Liaison.
