Capital District Paralegal Association, Inc.
CDPA is collecting information to be included in the Association' s member directory,
what we're dubbing "The Paralegal's Assistant."

In our roles as paralegals, we're sometimes called upon by our attorneys to help with
projects that are outside of our comfort zone, the areas of law that we know best and
work in most frequently.  Our goal is to create a directory that will serve as a resource
for us when faced with such a project. Our membership is made up of professionals
from a fairly wide range of practice areas and the directory would be a way for us to
support each other.

Think about what you use most commonly in your job- web sites, publications, legal
news sources, vendors- anything or anybody that helps you support your attorneys.  
The tools that you have become comfortable with and go to regularly in the normal
course of your day are precisely what someone who feels out of their element would
benefit from knowing about.

No matter what area of law we work in, we all use resources that are focused on what
we do.  Nothing is too trivial to share with a fellow paralegal who is looking for a
starting point.  Our goal is to create a directory in which we can share our accumulated
knowledge with our fellow association members.

Student members should also feel free to contribute as well; send us information about
materials you've come acros
s that have been helpful in your studies.

Here's what we need from you:   Please send your suggestions for items to include in the
directory to
vicepresident@cdpa.info with a brief description of what you use if for and
the value it provides.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS July 6, 2010.
