THE LOOKOUT
January 2023


Happy 2023!

The coming of a new year is always a time of reflection and change. Some of us may have already broken that new year's resolution while others haven’t even started on yours yet. The IPA is also working on some resolutions of our own to help you be the best paralegal you can be in 2023 starting with a whole new format for The Lookout. Below you will find some great information and we've even listed our upcoming events so you can see what we have in store with more to be added soon.
