procrastination by an attorney can cost him his law license. Missing a crucial court date or a
filing date can have serious repercussions on an attorney's career. Being reliable is the essence
of being a lawyer. As advocates for our clients reliability is expected and required.

LOOKING BACK
AT 2010
BY: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association
Yes, there will soon be
many looks back at the
year by the media.
However, none will
touch on the Illinois
Paralegal Association.
As we end the year it is
time to look back and
reflect on accomplish-
ments of the past year
and contemplate possi-
bilities for the coming
year. The Illinois
Paralegal Association
can look back at a busy
year for 2010 as its mem-
bers received informa-
tion about paralegals in
many different ways.
Official functions for
the year 2010 began with
the Educator’s
Conference. The IPA
sponsors this conference
each year to gather input
from educators around
the state. This important
conference allows the
educators to receive
feedback from practicing
paralegals on what is
important to include in
curriculums. Our associ-
ation receives feedback
on the current trends as
known by students.
The Annual Meeting
for 2010 was held for
again at Pazzo’s Cucina
Italiana with sponsors
present and dinner
served. Members had a
chance to meet with
sponsors and network
with each other.
Elections were held and
new officers and direc-
tors were elected to the
IPA Board of Directors.
Roosevelt University and
Linder Legal Staffing
sponsored the Pro Bono
Award which was pre-
sented to Michael
Marsh. The funds were
donated to the Chicago
Legal Clinic.
Following in short
order were social outings
like the Boat Cruise in
July, Wine and Appetizer
event and the Green
Door event.
Each year the IPA
hosts a spring education
conference and a fall
education conference.
2010 was no exception.
The Spring and Fall
Education Conferences
provides the IPA an
opportunity to engage in
