Certified Mediator/Paralegal
Barbara S. McRae
My undergraduate work was at McNeese University of Lake Charles, Louisiana, specializing in Paralegal Studies. In 1982, I attended The National Center for Paralegal Training, a post-graduate school, in Atlanta, Georgia and received an American Bar Association Accredited Certification. I became a Certified Mediator through American Arbitration Association training in 1993.
I worked in California law firms from 1984 to 1990 first as Senior Supervising Paralegal of the Palo Alto and San Francisco offices of a national law firm and then as a paralegal for the Chairman of the Sacramento County Family Bar Association where I realized there was a great need for an alternative to attorney representation. Many people, who had minor legal issues, who could not afford an attorney, need access to the courts. California's answer to that dilemma is qualified, educated Legal Document Assistants, assisting the public in representing themselves.
I opened my home office in Rocklin, CA, Placer County, in 1990, where I have helped couples find an inexpensive, dignified way to dissolve their marriages. I am now located in Roseville, CA.
From 1990 to 1997, I served on the Board of the Family Law Advisory Committee for Legal Service of Northern California. Among many purposes, this committee conducted a monthly training for new attorneys in family law. We were recognized by the Family Law Judges as a referral source for Pro Per parties. Our training was approved for MCLE credits. Through this board, I was recognized as a contributor to the Family Law Training Manual, which was published and used by McGeorge Law School. During the annual Law Day Dinner of the Sacramento Bar Association, I was a recipient of their Pro Bono Award.
