Episode Description

The Oregon State Bar has started to license paralegals, allowing them to offer some legal help that previously could only be provided by lawyers. The program is one of a handful nationwide and gives licensed paralegals the opportunity to provide assistance in  housing and family law. Sue Gerhardt is a longtime paralegal who recently received her license through the Oregon State Bar. She joins us with more about what this means for Oregonians in need of family or housing law services.
