Board of Nonlawyer Legal Service Providers

The Board of Nonlawyer Legal Service Providers makes recommendations on issues related to two types of certified and limited license professionals: Legal Document Preparers (LDPs), who prepare legal documents without the supervision of an attorney; and Legal Paraprofessionals (LPs), who are licensed to provide legal services without the supervision of an attorney. The Board meets regularly to review applications for initial certification, renewals, and discipline of LDPs and for initial licensure of LPs. The State Bar of Arizona oversees LP disciplinary matters. Board membership includes legal document preparers, legal paraprofessionals, judicial administrators, judges, superior court clerks, attorneys, and public members.
