Individual Membership

Types of Membership

There are three types of membership: UK, Hong Kong and international.

We have this distinction because for UK members the titles Associate Paralegal, Certified Paralegal and Qualified Paralegal are recognition that persons awarded those titles have reached the required standard of experience/qualification in the laws applicable in the United Kingdom. For Hong Kong members the titles designate their Hong Kong expertise. For International members the designations relate to their own jurisdictions.

We need to distinguish between the different types of expertise.
