Recertification Process

Credit for continuing legal education is awarded on the basis of hours of actual instruction. There are a variety of programs and ways in which the Certified Paralegal may maintain certification.

*CLE for taking a course will only be given after successful completion the first time.  If the course is taken more than once, CLE is not granted for the additional completions.

Credit is also granted for participation in most CLE programs offered by reputable organizations as long as the subject matter is related to work as a paralegal.  If an organization would like pre-approval from NALA, click here to review the requirements.  Participation in the following types of programs may qualify:

• Conferences, seminars, webinars, etc. offered by NALA,  affiliated associations, bar associations, or  seminar providers
• Teaching in a paralegal program, or teaching a session at a CLE seminar
• Participation in online educational programs
• Completion of a class at an accredited college or accredited community college
• Achievement of an advanced paralegal certification credential such as that offered by NALA, or a NALA-recognized state credentialing program (i.e. in California, Florida, Texas, and Louisiana)
