PARALEGAL ASSOCIATION

The First Stop for Paralegals in the First State

The Delaware Paralegal Association (DPA) is a comprehensive resource to paralegals in the state of Delaware. Providing a complete network of employment, educational, and pro bono opportunities to its over 300 members, DPA is committed to promoting and maintaining high standards within the legal community of the first state.

A paralegal is a person qualified by education or work experience who is authorized to perform tasks requiring substantive legal knowledge that would otherwise by law, rule or ethics be performed exclusively by an attorney.

We invite you to explore the resources and opportunities offered to paralegals by the Delaware Paralegal Association.

OUR MISSION

To promote and maintain high standards and ethics in the profession, to provide a forum for the exchange of information about the profession, to enhance the role of paralegals in the legal community and to encourage the continuing legal education of paralegals.

Kristin is currently serving as the DPA’s Sussex County Director but thanks to her new role as a Real Estate Coordinator for Tunnell & Raysor, P.A. and an increase in job responsibilities, she will be stepping down after this term. Kristin has done a FANTASTIC job serving the DPA members by bringing information and ideas to the Board and Sussex County. She has been instrumental in advocating for the DPA’s use of ZOOM and was the first to implement such technology in her CLEs. We wish Kristin much success in her newly expanded role at T&R and hope to see her back on the Board in the near future!
