How do your skills compare with the hallmark of a professional?
Established in 2004 at our members request, the Certified PP® designation is an attainable goal for paralegals who wish to be identified as exceptional in all areas of law. The certification is received after passing a one-day, four-part examination. Successful completion of the PP examination demonstrates:
- A mastery of procedural skills and communication skills.
- An advanced knowledge of procedural law, the law library, and the preparation of legal documents.
- A working knowledge of substantive law and the ability to perform specifically delegated substantive legal work under an attorney’s supervision.
- The ability to interact on a professional level with attorneys, clients, and other staff.
- The discipline to assume responsibility and exercise initiative and judgment while adhering to legal ethical standards at all times.
Working under the supervision of a practicing lawyer or a judge, the Professional Paralegal is expected to possess:
- The same high standard of ethical conduct imposed upon members of the Bar.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Knowledge and understanding of legal terminology and procedures, as well as procedural and substantive law.
- The ability to assume responsibility, exercise initiative and judgment, and prepare substantive legal documents within the scope of assigned authority.
