A Non-Profit Volunteer Association Dedicated to Furthering the Paralegal Profession in New Jersey
Helping Our Fellow Paralegals
The Paralegal Association of New Jersey is a non-profit association that strives to foster and promote regulated high-level educational standards and uniform practice guidelines for paralegals throughout New Jersey. Established in 1982, the Association is home to a large and continuously growing number of industry professionals committed to creating a positive community that offers gainful affiliations with fellow paralegals.
Multiple members of the PANJ Executive Board also serve on 
The Annual New Jersey Paralegal Convention committee, the Paralegal Committee of the New Jersey State Bar Association and sit on Legal Studies Advisory Boards for various college paralegal programs allowing the Association an active role in recent developments and to provide feedback as to current issues affecting the paralegal profession.
The entire PANJ Executive Board is composed of volunteer paralegals who generously donate their personal time to govern the Association.
PANJ is driven by its members and is only as strong as their participation. It is essential that members are involved in their professional association and PANJ encourages its members to actively participate in committee work. Aside from the Executive Board, committees are an integral mechanism of the Association.
