Request for Articles for KPA - The Journal

A member of the Kansas Bar Association paralegal committee has requested assistance from the KPA membership in having some paralegals write articles for The Journal.  If anyone would be interested in writing an article, please let me know as soon as possible.  For the April issue they need the article by March 1 and need to reserve the space by Feb. 18.  The article should be paralegal related. 
I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested to participate in this opportunity.  Please let me know if you have any questions, or need further information.  Thank you!
