Hello Michael! I understand how you feel. However, I couldn't disagree more. Certification is not only necessary in this field, it is long past due. Anyone who wants to can call themselves an expert. For more information on The Organization of Legal Professionals, The OLP, please go to www.theolp.org. PS: You can also read my blog on LegalTechBase.com for the argument for certification.

Hello Sue. I am not saying there is no need for certification, on the contrary. What I am saying is that the NCRA should have no role in that certification. We face this issue with new clients who had some unqualified person in the courtroom at some cut rate and want a qualified consultant for the same rate. What I believe to be the solution is to have standardized written tests along with real life simulations. I can not count the number of times we get pulled in to fix issues for the opposing counsel. Thank you for the comment.
