SUMMARY:Oklahoma Paralegal Association Summer Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Oklahoma Paralegal Association\nTitle 1: Justice Is Built: The Quiet Power of Oklahoma Paralegals\nSummary:\nMy speech affirms that Oklahoma paralegals shape justice long before the courtroom—through precision\, ethical discipline\, and the operational systems that keep legal work accurate and reliable. It encourages paralegals to pursue growth (including voluntary certification)\, to honor clear boundaries that protect clients and attorneys\, and to embrace modern drafting tools like AI without surrendering the human judgment of careful review. Hopefully\, the message is both empowering and practical: That the Paralegal’s influence on the outcome of a legal project is real\, and it is strongest when it is exercised with excellence\, supervision\, and integrity. \nLearning Objectives: \n1.) Accuracy is advocacy: details\, deadlines\, and clean records prevent harm and move cases forward.\n2.) Integrity requires boundaries: paralegals draft and support\, but attorneys provide legal judgment\, strategy\, and final responsibility—so speak up when lines blur. Your voice is ethical power\n3.) Leadership is operational: strong systems\, templates\, and thoughtful use of AI improve consistency while keeping attorney oversight where legal judgment belongs. Build systems\, not stress \nTitle 2: Basic Evidence and Ethical Guidance for a Successful Paralegal Career \nTulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler provides the basics of evidence and ethical guidance for a successful paralegal career. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Attendees will be provided key tips for gathering information from clients and assisting others in the understanding of the law.\n2.

Attendees will gain an understanding of the ethical guidelines for both attorneys and paralegals \nTitle 3: Navigation the Immigration Process \nLorena Rivas\, CEO and Senior Attorney at Rivas and Associates\, assists individuals as they navigate the complex world related to immigration and Visas. Ms. Rivas will provide an overview of the immigration process and the different types of visas and the process for obtaining the correct visa for their client’s situation. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Attendees will gain an understanding of the United States immigration process.\n2. Attendees will gain an understanding of the different types of visas and the process for obtaining a visa.\n3. Attendees will gain an understanding of how to identify and defend in adverse immigration actions. \nCLE Hours = 3 (2-Substantive\, 1-Legal Ethics)
