NALS School Accreditation Program

Most of us recognize the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval affixed to many household products. Many advertisements tout this seal as a means to evaluate the advertised product against others in the market.

NALS has its own “seal of approval.” The NALS School Accreditation Program provides a means by which any learning institution may have its program evaluated, approved, and accredited by NALS.

The benefits of being associated with NALS are numerous. These benefits include a curriculum that is developed by “experts” in the legal profession, networking opportunities for the school and its students, prestige for the students and the school, and an accreditation program that notifies the school’s community and students of the fact that the school is dedicated to the achievement of excellence. Each individual must review the positive aspects associated with affiliation with a national organization against not being affiliated.

The Application may be downloaded from the NALS website and upon its completion and payment of the $125 application fee, the full Accreditation Guide will be provided to guide the learning institution step-by-step through the process. Note: All learning institutions whose programs are already approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) may streamline the NALS Accreditation process by completing the Application, paying both the application fee and annual accreditation membership fee, and including proof of ABA approval.
