INTRODUCTION TO
'REGISTERED PARALEGALS'

Welcome to the homepage for the Law Society of Scotland 'Registered Paralegal' scheme.

This is one element of a partnership project between the Society and the Scottish Paralegal Association.

In the future we hope this will provide a central portal to range of information and membership services, but for now it contains the information on the consultation which took place between April and July of 2008.  You can also download draft proposals as to what the scheme may look like.

Around 400 responses were received to the consultation, either through the short online questionnaire or in the form of written responses to the detailed questions asked in the discussion document. The consultation closed on Friday 18th July, and further responses will not be accepted.  The results from the online questionnaire are now available to download, along with the original discussion document and a short summary paper on the project:
