SUMMARY:From Support to Strategy: Future-Proofing Paralegals with Data and AI
DESCRIPTION:Course Materials: Most live webinars include the ability to ask questions during the webinar about the topic\, view slides of the presentation and have access to a recording of the webinar. \n\nDescription: This session provides a practical\, career-forward framework for using data and emerging AI tools to strengthen litigation workflows. Attendees will explore where bias can enter case development from intake through trial and how structured data can support clearer judgment\, stronger preparation\, and better team outcomes. Rather than focusing on specific software\, this session emphasizes transferable decision-support skills that  position paralegals as strategic contributors within modern litigation teams. Participants will be introduced to practical approaches that can be applied across cases to support  efficiency\, confidence\, and professional value. \nDisclaimer: NALA recognizes this course as non-substantive CLE. However\, if your state requires technology CLE\, we can adjust this course to reflect technology CLE upon request. Please contact us at elearning@nala.org to request an update for your CLE requirements.\n\nCourse Year: 2026

SUMMARY:Strategic Storytelling for Legal Leaders: Influence and Impact
DESCRIPTION:Course Materials: Most live webinars include the ability to ask questions during the webinar about the topic\, view slides of the presentation and have access to a recording of the webinar. \n\nDescription: Many legal professionals face challenges when it comes to making their voices heard\, especially in environments where influence is earned rather than given.

The session includes live exercises and take-home resources. \nNote: Not able to join the live session? Preregister for the on-demand session here.
