Unions and Associations
Paralegals can choose from several associations to network and further their career. The National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) was the first national paralegal association. NFPA is a policy-oriented and issues-driven, but it also offers continuing education credits and certification for paralegals. NALA, which bills itself as "The Paralegal Association," is another leading professional organization. It offers membership, career information, certification, continuing education classes, and networking opportunities. Paralegals might also be interested in joining a region-specific association.
