What are the requirements for maintaining the advanced certification?
Paralegals with the advanced certification credential from NALA have already achieved the CLA/CP certification credential. To maintain the CLA/CP, certified paralegals must participate in a minimum of 50 hours of continuing legal education programs every five years. If a certified paralegal fails to maintain the CLA/CP credential, the paralegal will also lose the advanced certification. Successful completion of an advanced certification program will entitle one to receive CLE credit toward maintaining the CLA/CP credential.
