Our association has a strong heritage in the legal field and holds the honor of being the oldest association formed for legal support professionals. Established in 1929 by our founder Eula Mae Jett, the association was incorporated as the National Association of Legal Secretaries in 1949 and renamed NALS…the association for legal professionals in 1999. We updated to the National Association for Legal Support Professionals in 2021. This year is our 95th anniversary, and we are celebrating in numerous ways!

95th Anniversary History Project

NALS is working to compile previous pictures from NALS events and conferences. Search through your photo albums and camera rolls for any NALS pictures and upload them to our Cluster photo album. We will all be able to see your pictures, reminisce, and celebrate NALS' history together!

NALS Foundation Founder's Challenge

1929 presented challenges to people working in the legal field, but Eula Mae Jett had an idea that would bring people together to share ideas and provide solutions to the everyday problems that arose. 95 years later, NALS is still working to provide solutions to the challenges legal support professionals face each day. On behalf of our Founder, Eula Mae Jett, the NALS Foundation challenges the members and chapters to show support for NALS by making a simple donation:

• Members: Donate $.95 for every year you have been a member of NALS.
• Local and State Chapters: Donate $.95 for every year since the chapter was chartered.
