Regulation

Regulation is a hot-button issue for many paralegals today.  This page is dedicated to that issue.  Some of the questions that will be explored on this page are these: What is happening nationally and in Minnesota with regard to regulation?  How will regulation affect our profession?  How will regulation affect my career as a paralegal?  Will I be required to acquire more education?  Will I need to be tested, or will I be "grandfathered" in?
