I will be going there tomorrow get more info. I will also be visiting the Tennessee Paralegal Association (TPA), its in Chattanooga. Looks like I have a long way to go.....but im up for it. Thanks y'all for your kindness and information.
Good choice. Their program is ABA approved. That will actually save you a lot of heartache later because when you won't ever have to wonder if you qualify for anything. When you complete that program you'll be eligible to take the NALA Exam and the NFPA Exam.

Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.
