STRENGTH THROUGH STATEWIDE ALLIANCE

Providing A Voice of Leadership in Promoting Education, Voluntary Examination, and Advancement of the Paralegal Profession

CAPA

Who We Are

CAPA, a statewide non-profit mutual benefit corporation, is passionately dedicated to advancing the paralegal profession. It believes in the Alliance's strength and promotes that associations and paralegals can achieve more when they work together. This is exemplified by our decades of legislative effort, which resulted in the passage of California’s Business and Professions Code §6450 et seq. in 2000 and amended in 2006 (MCLE 2-year standard term reporting), significant milestones in our mission.
We foster, encourage, and promote an ongoing and active relationship with attorneys, national, state, and local paralegal and bar associations, and others in the legal community. Together, we strive to advance the paralegal profession and shape its future, ultimately benefiting the legal profession and the California public in general.
CAPA is a collaborative force representing California paralegals in (a) attorney-supervised settings, law firms, corporations, governmental agencies, or other entities. California paralegals can expand their knowledge and expertise in conjunction with CAPA, committed to (b) supporting formal education, training, and continuing education by the Alliance hosting annual and biennial MCLE conferences and events, (c) its voluntary/mandatory continuing legal education compliance program required by BPC §6450(d), and (d) its California Certified Paralegal (CCP) program. These initiatives enhance paralegals' skills and knowledge and ensure their competence and professionalism in the legal field, along with their attorneys, firms, and corporations.
