Career opportunities; networking with other legal practitioners; Credit MCLE and CLS; special guest speaker presentations by local state and federal judges; show trials; private tours of San Francisco courthouses; fundraising events supported by local law firms; and participation in San Francisco Bay Area charity events such as Aids Walk, Dress for Success and Foster Kids Drive. The San Francisco Legal Professionals Association (SFLPA) is a non-profit organization that strives to provide education and training opportunities to legal secretaries, paralegals, office workers, and other legal advisors who work or live in San Francisco. SFLPA runs a variety of training programs and live presentations to improve the quality of legal support across the legal industry, including a legal secretary course for beginners and advanced learners. Law firms that support the buy-in and involvement of their support staff benefit from a better knowledge of ongoing litigation and a better understanding of specific practice areas by each participating employee who contributes to the success of their firm.
