The Paralegal Section hit the ground running in January 2015 with this extraordinary team of legal professionals and immediately began offering powerful, relevant and timeless CLEs covering myriad topics such as: unlawful practice of the law; ethics; legal writing; preparing for trial; surrogacy; family law, forms; MS Office tips; sexual harassment; and many more.
The section is accepting applications for Paralegal Section members who would like to be on the leadership team and make a difference.
The section meets the second Wednesday of the month. Letters of interest may be addressed to cle@sfbar.org. You must be a member of both BASF and the Paralegal Section to join.
