CorpAmerica, Inc., a corporate services company headquartered in Dover, Delaware, is sponsoring the 1999 award for NFPA Paralegal of the Year.
The selection will be based upon on-the-job achievements that have contributed to expansion of the paralegal profession.

Details for essay standards, plus the official entry form, are available at www.lawservice.com and www.paralegals.org. Deadline for submission is August 14, 1999. CorpAmerica will pay all expenses of the winner to attend the 1999 Fall Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, at which the winner will receive a plaque from CorpAmerica and NFPA.
