Connecting Lawyers with Legal Plans We are your source for information on what they are, where to find them, and how you can get involved. If you are a lawyer, participating in legal service plans can be a good way to expand your practice. Check out our publications and member benefits sections to find out how to get started and what resources we have for you. Please Note! The API does not operate a legal services plan. |

Universal Application - Applying to Legal Plans has never been easier!
The API has unveiled its newest and most innovative benefit to date to all current and new members of the API - The Legal Plan Universal Application Portal . This web “portal” type application allows current API members the opportunity to apply to participating legal plans with the click of one button! Not only that, but once you’ve been accepted to one plan, the API web application makes it just as easy to renew your credentials with all plans, again, with the click of one button! To begin, log on to the Member's Only Page and you'll see the new link, front and center.

Mentoring Program
As some of you have already experienced, we
have started a new Mentoring Program for
all new and existing members. Joining a large
association can be overwhelming and sometimes
the benefits can get lost in the shuffle.
To avoid that, all new members and any existing
members can take advantage of our veteran
members who are volunteering their time to
work one-on-one with those who are interested
in learning about the API -inside and out. New
members will be matched automatically, and
existing members should contact Sara Pekar
to be matched. We believe in leadership from within!
