The meetings focus on topics geared towards the needs and interests of our members. In the form of either workshops or with guest speakers leading discussions, members are actively involved in learning the subject matter presented. The AAPP provides an annual ethics hour to assist in fulfilling the ethics requirement. In addition to attendance at AAPP monthly meetings, which are oriented towards providing CLE, members are encouraged to take advantage of other CLE opportunities in the legal community. A seminar listing is printed in the monthly newsletter, the ParaScope .
Members verify fulfillment of their CLE requirements on their annual membership renewal form.
The AAPP publishes a newsletter, the ParaScope , once a month for all members. The newsletter contains job bank listings which are free for AAPP members. There are minutes of general and board meetings, treasurer's reports, seminar announcements and news of general interest to paralegals. The newsletter provides members a chance to network among themselves and, through national news items, other national and state associations. The NFPA is the oldest and largest paralegal association with over 55 member associations representing over 17,000 individual members nationwide.
