Welcome to AAfPE!
Established in 1981, AAfPE’s roots go back to the mid 1970s when the American Bar Association sponsored the first conferences for paralegal educators. While much has been accomplished in the field of paralegal education from this beginning, there is still much more to be done to fully develop the potential for both the paralegal field and education for the profession.
ABOUT US
AAfPE's membership includes dozens of universities, colleges, and other institutions of higher learning throughout the United States and in Canada.
