CCPA'S HISTORY
The Central Connecticut Paralegal Association, Inc. (CCPA) was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1982 and is a volunteer-based organization which relies upon the active participation of its members. CCPA is Connecticut’s only paralegal association. CCPA is affiliated with the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, Inc. (NFPA), an umbrella organization that provides legislative monitoring, advocacy, education and leadership to support and advance the paralegal profession nationwide. Our members work for law firms, corporations, government agencies, major insurance and healthcare companies, non-profits and banks. Some are self-employed offering freelance paralegal services while others are students just entering the profession and looking to connect. Our membership is available to all paralegals, statewide.
