Paralegals may be deemed essential service providers. Many paralegals continue to work in the office. However, legal recruiters also report that there are expanding opportunities in the virtual job market. The scope of paralegal work is changing with the growing need to provide remote legal services. IT paralegal skills are currently in high demand to address needs related to data security and the increased pressures of electronic case management and e-discovery. Many employers see the Virtual or V-Paralegals as super stars. Attorneys look to paralegals to be quick on their remote fingertips to deliver technology solutions accurately and efficiently while attorneys focus on the novel and complex legal issues arising from practicing law during a pandemic. Legal recruiters confirm that litigation is ramping up as the courts open.

Standing Committee on Paralegals The Standing Committee has a 50-year history within the ABA. Its mission is to improve the American system of justice by establishing ABA standards for the education of paralegals and by promoting attorneys' professional, effective and ethical utilization of paralegals.

Is your Paralegal GPA 3.5 or higher? Have you completed at least 2/3 of the Paralegal Studies program?
If you answered “Yes” to both of these questions then you may qualify for induction in to Lambda Epsilon Chi, LEX. The purpose of LEX is to recognize persons who have demonstrated superior academic performance in an established program of paralegal or legal studies offered at an American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE) member institution.
Please note that there is a $50 induction fee for LEX. This fee is not a GPTC fee but an AAfPE fee. In addition, should you want a LEX stole to wear at graduation, that is a separate $35 fee.
The GPTC Paralegal Studies Program plans to hold an induction ceremony this semester. Please email Ms. Murray, [email protected], no later than close of business Monday, February 28, 2022, if you believe that you qualify for this honor. Details regarding your qualification, the ceremony and payment of the induction fee will follow.
