Dennyce Korb, Paralegal Affiliates Chair for the American Association for Justice, was quoted as saying in a recent prnewswire.com press release: ''The AAJ paralegal affiliates are extremely grateful to Advocate Capital, Inc. for sponsoring our 2011 AAJ Paralegal of the Year award. This award provides an opportunity for an AAJ paralegal to attend the annual convention in New York and to participate in the vast wealth of educational and networking opportunities which will be available at the convention.''
''Facilitating paralegal involvement in AAJ educational offerings provides immeasurable benefit to not only paralegals, but also to the law firms that employ them and the clients who are served. Attendees are guaranteed to pick up ideas which they will immediately be able to put to use in the cases they are working on, they will return with countless new connections to paralegals, attorneys, and litigation-related service providers from all over the country, and they will discover a renewed sense of purpose and enthusiasm for the work we do.''
Advocate's President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael J. Swanson was quoted as saying: ''Paralegals are a key component to any successful law firm. We hope that this award will help to bring well deserved attention to the crucial role that paralegals play in our Nation's civil justice system.''
