Sectionals are groups of MPA member paralegals in particular practice areas who convene periodically to attend meetings relative to their area of law, both for educational and fellowship purposes.  Typically, sectional meetings are held over lunch, and speakers are often scheduled.  Sectionals can be a great way to stay abreast of changes and new developments in your area of law, as well as obtain new ideas for your practice.

If you don't see your area of law represented by a sectional, it's because no one has stepped forward as sectional chair.  (See Open Categories drop-down button under Sectionals Menu.)  If you would be interested in chairing a sectional, please send an e-mail to info@mnparalegals.org.
