The Certified Paralegal Program sets paralegals apart in the workplace. Having the certification from NALA sets you up as an industry leader capable of contributing to your company every day. As making the decision to apply for the Certified Paralegal Exam is a commitment, please take some time to review the Certification Process to determine if the NALA CP Certification fits your career goals.
