OCPA is an organization of paralegals (as defined by Business & Professions Code Section 6450) who work directly for attorneys not directly for the public. Applications for OCPA membership require that you attest that you work for attorneys. If you are a legal document assistant (as defined by Business & Professions Code Section 6400) who works directly for the public, go to www.calda.org for a membership application to The California Association of Legal Document Assistants.
