The Mississippi Paralegal Association ("MPA") was founded in 1980 by paralegals in Mississippi who wished to encourage a higher order of ethical and professional attainment. The main purpose of MPA is to promote the
profession of paralegals statewide. MPA supports, encourages, and maintains high standards for the service, conduct, and ethics of paralegals.

From the Board Christy Roberts, ACP MPA President
On October 21, 2020, I had a real Sally Field’s moment. I may be showing my age a bit, but I really thought ‘They like me, they really like me.” I was ecstatic to be written-in as candidate for the MPA 2021 President position on the ballot. MPA is more than just another non-profit to throw my time into, because let’s be honest, this can be a lot of work. Luckily, we have committees forming and leaders stepping up to continue the forward momentum MPA has been on the past couple of years. I can’t wait for 2021!! Thank you to everyone who has participated on the Board in 2020. We will miss you next year, but hope to continue networking with you well into the future!

Job Bank
MPA’s Job Bank is rather progressive in that we do not maintain an online bank.
Our Job Bank Coordinator, Sheena Edwards, CP (Butler Snow) posts our job openings in MPA’s Members Only Social Media Groups. MPA posts the position once in our Monthly Newsletter. Our goal is to empower paralegals to find their perfect job without overwhelming our volunteers.
