  1. The GCB Paralegal Mentor Program sponsors a variety of social events to encourage and strengthen relationships between experienced paralegal professionals, entry-level paralegals and students.

  2. The Second Annual Paralegal Awards Luncheon is designed to recognize and award Atlanta's top paralegals. All members are encouraged to nominate a deserving paralegal for this prestigious award.

This enriching event also provides ample opportunity for networking with other legal industry professionals. This event is scheduled for October 10, 2009.

  6. Yahoo Group Homepage: This is one of the most beneficial tools for students and paralegals that allow us to communicate daily. It is an exclusive benefit for members only. Members gain access to legal information, job listings, internships, databases, events, seminars, meeting minutes and files. Members can submit job related questions about local rules, e-filing, required forms and other topics. In addition, we share information about upcoming CLEs and other educational programs. You may view pictures of events and we also set up questions of the day and create polls to keep members active.
