Paralegal Registration

The Florida Supreme Court has adopted a registration program for paralegals. Participation is voluntary and the court specifically disclaims any intent to “regulate” paralegals who are registered under the program. Rather, “we believe the program will inure to the benefit of the public in the same way the Florida Rules for Certified and Court-Appointed Mediators inured to the public’s benefit and we are, therefore, comfortable with approving this program.” (Mike Frisch)
