Join the American Alliance of Paralegals, the national paralegal association that continues to set standards that others follow. The American Alliance was the first to host the National Paralegal Summit, the first to host a webinar, and the first to set educational standards for voting membership. The successful leadership of the American Alliance has been echoed by other paralegal organizations and proprietary educational groups, thus affirming the old adage that copying someone else is the highest form of flattery.
Be a member of the association that leads the way instead of follows; be a part of the future with the American Alliance.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!!
FOURTH NATIONAL PARALEGAL SUMMIT - SEPTEMBER 18, 2009

WE'VE CHANGED OUR ADDRESS!
American Alliance of Paralegals, Inc.
Suite 134-146
4001 Kennett Pike
Wilmington, Delaware 19807
IN THE NEWS!
A recent Email exchange on the LAT Forum led to one of the highest compliments that the American Alliance could receive. The Emails were over the issue of certification and the person responded in their Email that even though they belonged to National Association of Legal Assistants and chose to take the CP exam, they also were a member of the American Alliance of Paralegals, Inc. as they believed "that it sets us a step toward where we will be in the future." It is nice when members of the American Alliance are able to see that paralegals in the profession recognize that the future of the profession will require an educational and continuing CLE component and not just an exam that the other national associations promote.
