 "On behalf of the Paralegal Division of AAJ, I would like to personally thank Advocate Capital, Inc. for sponsoring the 2013 AAJ Paralegal of the Year award.  This prestigious award is awarded to a paralegal that has consistently demonstrated knowledge of the law, perseverance in her cases and to her attorneys' clients, superior paralegal skills and whose commitment and overall attitude is an inspiration to other paralegals," commented Daphne Grier, Paralegal Affiliates Chair for the American Association for Justice. She continued, "Advocate Capital, Inc. has generously agreed to sponsor the winning paralegal with airfare, hotel and conference fees to attend the annual convention in San Francisco in July and to participate in the vast wealth of educational and networking opportunities that are always available at the annual convention.  We sincerely appreciate Advocate Capital, Inc. for their continuing support of the Paralegal Division of AAJ, and for recognizing paralegals as an integral part of the trial attorney team."

Swanson.  "Paralegals perform crucial work in helping their law firms get justice on their clients' behalf.  We hope that this award will help to bring well deserved attention to the crucial role that paralegals play in our civil justice system."
