FALL CKP EXAMINATION
NOVEMBER 10, 2018
SOMERSET, KENTUCKY

In conjunction with the KPA Annual Conference, the Fall 2018 Certified Kentucky Paralegal (CKP) Examination will be held on Saturday, November 10, 2018, at the Center for Rural Development Conference Center in Somerset, Kentucky.  A review session will be offered from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., and the CKP Examination will be given at 12:00 p.m.  

PURPOSE:  The purpose of the Kentucky Paralegal Association’s Certified Kentucky Paralegal Program is to implement Kentucky Supreme Court Rule 3.700 for paralegals in Kentucky by establishing a procedure for paralegal certification, which will promote competence and high standards of professional responsibility, including the Kentucky Paralegal Association’s Paralegal Professional Standards of Conduct. This is accomplished by setting minimum training, work experience, and education requirements for eligibility to be a designated Certified Kentucky Paralegal. The ultimate purpose of this self-regulation program is to improve the quality of legal service in Kentucky and make it more readily available to the public. Certification of qualifications and commitment to high professional and ethical standards by paralegals will lead to appropriate recognition of the substantial and essential contribution paralegals make to the provision of legal services in Kentucky.
