Paralegal pointers

Changes follow AGM

The Scottish Paralegal Association held its AGM on Saturday 9 April. Office bearers elected were: President, Jacqueline Burns; Vice President, Nicola Heggie; treasurer: Sandra Reid; secretary, Carol McQuillan.

Re-elected committee members were Catherine Muir and Graeme McClumpha, joined by new members Paul Kirkwood, Alison Smith, Anne McDowall and Jenny Livingstone.

Changes to the constitution were agreed, altering the SPA’s registered address to c/o Law Society of Scotland, Atria One, 144 Morrison Street, Edinburgh EH3 8EX (our own Legal Post Box is LP-3, Bridge of Allan); and providing that the committee shall in future comprise a minimum rather than a maximum of eight members.

CPD call

The SPA is delighted to be able to offer free verifiable CPD to all members, provided there are sufficient numbers willing to attend. If this is of interest to you, please drop us an email at [email protected] to confirm the domain you are working in, your location and whether you would prefer the seminar to be during office hours or early evening. We have several agencies who have agreed to provide seminars to us, and if there is sufficient interest we will organise an event to suit.

If you have any particular topic that is of interest to you for CPD, please tell us and we will do our best to get a speaker on board with us.

If you would not be interested in any of the above, could you drop us a short email to let us know why and also where you do your own CPD.

The Association is working for you and we do need you to tell us what we can do for you.
