Program Overview
Minnesota’s Legal Paraprofessional Program is intended to increase access to legal representation in case types where one or both parties typically appear without legal representation. The Minnesota Supreme Court adopted Court Rule amendments on September 16, 2024, which authorize the Program, effective January 1, 2025.The Program permits legal paraprofessionals, under the supervision of a Minnesota licensed attorney, to provide legal advice in select legal matters and, in some cases, represent a client in court in select case types.
If you would like to contact a legal paraprofessional to inquire about your legal matter, please visit the Roster tab on this page to find an approved legal paraprofessional near you. The Roster of Approved Legal Paraprofessionals will increase over time, so a legal paraprofessional may not currently be available near your location or for the type of legal assistance you need.
