Florida Bar: "Who can practice law in Florida? Generally speaking, you must be a member of The Florida Bar in order to practice law in Florida. There are some limited exceptions established by rule or law."

Footnote:
Does the Bar license paralegals?
No. The Florida Bar does not license paralegals. But on March 1, 2008, the voluntary Florida Registered Paralegal Program went into effect. The program provides for voluntary registration of paralegals who meet minimum educational, certification or work experience and who agree to abide by an established code of ethics. For the first three years of the program, paralegals who are able to show substantial experience, but who don't meet the education or certification requirements, will be able to become Florida Registered Paralegals under a grandfathering provision.
