ABA Journal features SoPA program director
Robyn Ice, JD, MFA, senior professor of practice and program director at the Tulane School of Professional Advancement (SoPA) is featured in this month’s ABA Journal for her role as chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Paralegals’ Approval Commission.
The article highlights the legal community’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of the American Bar Association’s approval of paralegal education programs.
Ice serves as director of Tulane SoPA's General Legal Studies and Business & Leadership Studies programs and has guided those programs to ABA accreditation compliance.
Her real-world legal expertise, drawn from decades practicing in environmental and toxic-tort law and in-house corporate counsel roles, ensures students receive both rigorous training and meaningful career preparation.
Ice’s national role with the ABA reflects a deep commitment to elevating paralegal education. Whether mentoring students, guiding program re-approval, or shaping the approval framework itself, her contributions continue to impact the field profoundly.
