About SPA ...
The Fresno City College Student Paralegal Association provides a forum for all of the students in the Fresno City College Paralegal Program to:
- enhance our learning experience through association-sponsored seminars and presentations,
- meet prospective employers and colleagues in the local legal community at social gatherings,
- participate in fund-raising and benefits
- get to know one another.
Our members benefit from seminars hosted by SPA, a California State Bar-approved provider, and a newsletter published monthly. We also hold events throughout the semester. Students of the paralegal program are also welcome to attend SPA General Meetings held monthly. You will enjoy getting to know your fellow students as you work towards earning your certificate or degree.

Education
Let's face it. It's all about the education and that is what brings us
together at SPA. The Paralegal Studies Program at Fresno City College has been
in existence for over 30 years. Under the diligent guidance of Dr. Brian J.
McCully, it has developed into a first rate and highly acclaimed program and
truly equips us for moving into the legal profession. To learn more about
