Online Study Group

The Online Study Group is set-up to assist those preparing to take a NALS Certification Exam but is open to the public and offers wonderful information for all legal professionals.

The Online Study Group has been revamped to make it easier and more inclusive for everyone taking a NALS Certification exam. There will be fewer sessions with more coverage of all parts of all three exams. These sessions will include information for the ALS, PLS, and the Professional Paralegal (PP) exams and they will wrap up with reviews specific to each exam and a general session with test taking tips.
