GOVERNMENTS Section |
The Governments Section is intended to be an educational and social forum, where government paralegals and paraprofessionals offer each other professional insight, support, information, and resources specific to the unique needs of working for a local, state, or the federal government. We welcome all former government, and government outside counsel, paralegals and paraprofessionals. *Section Membership Requirements: You must be a current RMPA member in good standing, as well as a current or former government paralegal/paraprofessional as described above.* Scroll down to learn about our monthly meetings and GSG!

Governments Section Group
The Governments Section Group ("GSG") works much like a ListServ. It’s open to RMPA members in good standing who are current or former government paralegals or paraprofessionals, including those who work for any government outside counsel. Registering for the Governments Section Meeting makes you a member of both the Governments Section and the GSG.
Think of the GSG as your go-to network of peers who get it! Bounce ideas off colleagues, swap tips and resources, team up on challenges, and stay connected with others who share the unique experience of working as a government paralegal or paraprofessional. **Engaging in the unauthorized practice of law is strictly prohibited.**
