Paralegal Association of Florida, Inc.  ("PAF"), is a professional association of approximately 1,000 paralegals from around the State of Florida.  The Association was incorporated in 1976 as Florida Legal Assistants, Inc.; however, in 2000, the name was changed because the term "paralegal" more accurately reflects the substantive nature of our members' responsibilities in rendering legal services -- while under the supervision of an attorney -- and clearly distinguishes our profession from other law office support personnel. A 1998 survey sponsored by The Florida Bar concluded that the public perceives "paralegals" to be subject to higher criteria than "legal assistants" and, therefore, have a higher standing in the legal profession. The work we perform for our law firms, corporations, or governmental employers requires a high degree of professionalism, strong ethical standards, and initial and continuing legal education. 

We are proud to distinguish ourselves as paralegals and, through PAF, cultivate the paralegal profession.
