I have been a paralegal since the late 1980s. When I began working in the profession I joined professional associations including the IPA to assist me in becoming the best paralegal I could be. The IPA Education Conferences have been instrumental in helping me put my best foot forward over the years. As a paralegal there is the need to never stop learning about the intricacies of the law. With the help of the educational sessions I attended over the years, the IPA has helped me in that respect. Where else can I find such top notch speakers addressing me as a paralegal? The IPA Education conference is first and foremost, a place where paralegals from all disciplines can come together and attend an informative session on a topic that may or may not be related to one’s area of practice. Attending some sessions might lead to a new path in the paralegal profession. From corporate law to technology to litigation and topics in-between, paralegals should find sessions that will appeal to his or her area of practice. To the end of leading to a new path in the profession, a paralegal does not have to be working in the area of law to attend the specific seminar sessions. Some of the best seminars I have attended have been totally unrelated to the areas of law my employer practices. It is usually shortly after attending the seminar that a question arises relating to the seminar I attended. I then promptly pull out the seminar information and the speaker’s telephone number. Nothing like a little razzle dazzle in the day to make your employer feel good about sending you to seminars. The IPA strives to provide a mix of sessions from litigation, technol- ogy, corporate, and more which will appeal to paralegals. While not all sessions will pique your interest hopefully many of them will and will be helpful to you in your everyday work. The education conferences are not only about learning. They provide an opportunity to meet and mingle with our peers. This is your chance to network during the breaks and lunch hour. Vendors will be available to speak with the seminar attendees. The vendors give paralegals an opportunity to ask questions about products and services on a one on one basis. Register now for the IPA’s Fall Education Conference. It’s November 20, 2014 at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza. You will not want to miss the sessions and networking oppor- tunities. For more information about the Education Conference contact the IPA at Illinois Paralegal Association, Yvonne Olsson at 815- 462-4520 or www.ipaonline.org.
