| SPOTLIGHTSUSTAINING MEMBER(S)OF THE MONTHThere are several thousand paralegals in Texas. Fewer than 400 are Board Certified by the TBLS. Texas Paralegal Board Certification is a singular professional achievement and significant personal accomplishment that few paralegals achieve. Within the Texas legal community, TBLS Board Certification distinguishes a paralegal as having substantial, relevant experience in a select area of law with demonstrated and tested special competence.
TBLS Board Certified Paralegals earn the right to represent themselves as a specialist in Texas law. This designation distinguishes them as paralegals with the highest professional commitment to excellence in their area of law. The application process is voluntary and extensive, and the examination is thorough. The rewards are high. Board Certification applications and program information are available at http://www.tbls-bcp.org/Cert/Request-Application. Want your company featured? CAPA spotlights its Sustaining Members each month at no cost to its members. See the Sustaining Member Guidelines for details, or email the SM Liaison to sign up! |
