Paralegals can be an attorney’s best friend in the trenches of a courtroom, in managing a law practice, or in many other substantive areas of legal work. This program, put on by the MSBA’s Paralegal Task Force, will look at the role of the paralegal in legal practice, including what a paralegal is and is not allowed to do, and tips for attorneys to best navigate how to use paralegals to improve not just productivity but also profitability. We will also look at the ethical obligations of attorneys in responsibly and effectively working with paralegals.

One hour of ethics credit will be offered to the surrounding MCLE states.
