Spring 2022 Certified Kentucky Paralegal (CKP) Examination The exam will be offered online on Saturday, June 25, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. We will have a review session that will be offered at 10:00 a.m. that morning for those wanting to join (as a CKP myself, this review session is a MUST if you want to do the best you can on this exam). If you are interested in taking the exam, please complete your application and email it to me no later than Wednesday, June 22, 2022. This allows us time to review and get you on the roster. Once you are approved to sit for the exam a Zoom link will be emailed to you prior to Saturday, June 25, 2022 to move forward. All materials for the exam including the application are located under the Certified KY Paralegal tab on the Kentucky Paralegal Association website. Scroll to the bottom to Certified KY Paralegal Examination. Each bullet point is a link. Lastly, I know this is a bit short notice for those who have not already studied, gotten their application ready, etc. No worries!! We offer a Fall Exam as well and it is always offered in conjunction with the KPA's Annual Conference in November. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
