Greetings TPA Members:
Hope everyone is staying cool in this hot “early” summer
weather!!
We recently had our Spring Seminar hosted by our South-
east Chapter. The topics were very informative and we had
a good turnout. I want to thank the Southeast Chapter for
hosting a great seminar.
The NALA Convention will be coming up on July 27-29,
2011. Tammie Murphy, CLA and I will be attending for
TPA. We will be attending meetings and exhibits and will
be obtaining ideas from other Paralegal organizations to help
our association grow.
At our recent board meeting, at the request of the West TN
Chapter Chairperson and its members, the board voted to
hold the West TN Chapter of TPA dormant for one year in
hopes that they could grow their membership and participa-
tion.
Our Fall Seminar will be held November 4-5, 2011 in Leba-
non, Tennessee. Our First Vice President, LaFran Plunk, is
working extremely hard on the seminar. If you have any ide-
as for topics, please contact LaFran. Please check the web-

Hope you all have a safe summer and looking forward to
seeing each of you soon!
Yours very truly,

Get the Most from Your Paralegal Education
Deciding to become a paralegal is a big decision. Each of us has our own reasons for
wanting to become a paralegal, yet we are not alone in our endeavor. While the educa-
tional institution we are attending has a curriculum that will provide us with our edu-
cation and training, there is much more that we must learn outside of the school’s cur-
riculum.
We must learn that relationships and teamwork is a vital part of becoming a successful
paralegal. Without teamwork, how will we get help when we come across something we
have not yet experienced? Are we going to ask our attorney how to file pleadings with a
court we have not yet worked in? Probably not. We need to have relationships with oth-
er paralegals that can help us through. If you are of the mind that you don’t need rela-
tionships with other paralegals, either within your firm or outside your firm, you will
always be one step behind. No one can do it alone!
Relationships and teamwork can and should begin with your education. Your fellow
students are there for the same reason you are, so you already have something in com-
mon to build upon. Perhaps you are having trouble in one of your classes but the person
two seats over seems to understand the material. If you asked that person, would they
help you? Or perhaps you understand the material and someone wants your help, are
you going to help them or leave them to figure it out on their own? No doubt about it,
helping each other with course material is a good way to begin a relationship. When you
help one another, you become a team working toward the same goal; you both want to
be a successful student and a successful paralegal.
Relationship building and teamwork also comes from participating in industry activities
and joining professional affiliations. Your educational institution has several groups
and clubs that you can join that not only help build relationships, but also help build
your resume. And there are several professional affiliations for paralegals. Join as many
as you can. You will find great value in these affiliations. Just take it from our area at-
torneys. Look up an attorney’s bio and see what professional affiliations they list. Most
attorneys are able to list several affiliations because they know the importance of rela-
tionship building and teamwork.
Don’t leave your success as a student and a paralegal to chance. Become involved, help
your fellow students, ask for help. Begin building the relationships that you will value
for a lifetime. Become an active club member and join a professional affiliation, be part
of a team. Your educational institution will not do this for you. It is up to you to make
your own success.

5. How Safe is your Domain Name?
When you think of business assets, physical items probably come to mind first: the
building you own or are purchasing, your equipment, your furniture. You insure these
items against loss.
What about your intangible assets? Your electronic client files are highly valuable and
irreplaceable. You perform regular backups. And you periodically check your backup to
be certain you can actually reinstall the backed up information. You keep the backup
disk or drive off site.
Have you considered the safety of your domain name; also known as your web address
or URL? There are ways to protect this highly valuable and irreplaceable corporate as-
set.
1. The user name and password for both your domain and hosting providers should be
in the company's permanent record, assessable to two or three trusted individuals.
2. The contact information with both providers should be updated as needed.
3. The domain name should be owned by your company, although your web developer
or hosting provider may be listed as a technical contact.
4. Your domain registration renewal date should be noted in the tickler systems of two
or three staff members.
If your domain name registration is managed by an outside source, ask about their pro-
cess for tracking and secession.
Loss of your company website and email can be devastating. There are domain name
grabbers watching your domain expiration date, waiting to grab it. There is typically a
grace period where you can renew without penalty, but why take the risk? Track your
domain name expirations, user names and passwords, and protect your company invest-
ment and internet branding.

6. Our Spring Seminar was held in April in Chattanooga, hosted by the Southeast Chapter. Our
Fall Seminar and Annual Meeting is coming up on November 4th & 5th. Please consider taking
an active role in your Association. You can utilize any of the announcements and/or forms in
this issue or in the alternative check with any of our Board members to see what assistance you
can provide that matches your preferences.
The West TN Chapter of our Association continued their hosting duties at the Annual Law Day
Celebration for the Madison County Bar Association on April 29th in Jackson. The Ernie Gray
Paralegal Utilization Award was presented to the attorney who was selected from paralegal
nominations that best utilized his or her paralegal. The West Chapter has done this each year
for quite some time. Recently the Southeast Chapter adopted this concept award and named the
utilization award after Judge W. Neil Thomas, III. Our Spring Seminar fell on the same day as
Law Day this year and unfortunately many of the West Chapter members were not able to at-
tend.
Our West TN Chapter always has devoted members that contribute immensely to our Associa-
tion and its Chapter. The geographic location in the West provide many challenges for members
to be active in participation of their Chapter membership meetings and regular scheduled activ-
ities as a Chapter. The West Chapter is going dormant for the next year and hopefully by this
time next year a new interest in active involvement for membership will be present. The small
number of West Chapter members are electing currently to be members At Large.
The Southeast Chapter has continued to have their Lunch ‘N Learn meetings at the United Way
Building in downtown Chattanooga on the third Tuesday of each month. Attendance varies from
14 to 20 + individuals, with the exception of the last meeting, which was held on an irregular
week, the fourth week. A alternate location at a different building nearby is being considered
for future use as conference room reservations are now limited preventing the regular scheduled
time for the meetings.
Efforts to match twenty-seven Chattanooga State paralegal students to paralegals for shadow-
ing has been underway for the past few weeks. Many more paralegal volunteers are still needed.
The student observes a paralegal for two hours. Also, there is a template non-disclosure agree-
ment available if needed to present to the paralegal’s employer to obtain their approval. Fur-
thermore, a list is available of students with their availability to be matched to a paralegal.
Please contact Laysha McCullaugh if you are able to have a student shadow you to get the full
details etc. Thank you.
Our new Central Chapter is meeting the challenge of growing their Chapter. Rachael Reach and
Theresa Carrico have been promoting our Association at a number of local paralegal schools.
Recently, they spoke at two paralegal classes at Volunteer State Community College where
many of the students expressed interest in learning more about membership.
Our East Chapter has been working on their book drive for the Knox County Jail Library (a pro-
ject started at the Public Defender’s office) and assisting with Second Harvest. Also, they have
been working on a membership drive, including calling current and recent members to see what
more can be offered to our Membership that is not currently being met.

11. One part of our Association’s goals is to form a network among paralegals. Building
our resources is one way to meet this goal. Our website resource section, “Links of
Interest” has room for growth. Please send a note to the website committee identify-
ing the full URL to the most valuable online links that you use everyday so it may be
added to this section. Each link will add a useful resource for each of us. We will be
adding a new resource to this section in the very near future regarding a mediator
directory from the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals. This resource is an
indispensable tool. A glimpse of their roster card is below and on the next page. Also,
titled link “The Nation’s Most Experienced Civil Trial Mediators & Arbitrators” (a
firm’s guide to selecting a neutral) will be added. In closing, please help our resources
grow. Our web site committee looks forward to hearing from you. E-Mails can be sent
to info@tnparalegal.org Attn: Web Site Committee.
