ALS - The basic certification for legal professionals
One way to demonstrate your preparedness for the demanding field of law is by becoming an ALS. This designation is awarded after passing a four-hour, three-part examination. Attaining this goal demonstrates your commitment and aptitude for succeeding in the ever-changing legal environment.

PLS - The advanced certification for legal professionals
PLS® is the designation for lawyer's assistants who want to be identified as exceptional. Certification is received after passing a one-day, four-part examination which demonstrates not only dedication to professionalism but acceptance of the challenge to be exceptional. Personal motivation is necessary to attain such a goal.

Professional Paralegal
Established in 2004 at our members request, the Certified PP designation is an attainable goal for paralegals who wish to be identified as exceptional in all areas of law. The certificate is received after passing a one-day, four-part examination.

NALS of Anchorage conducts a study group to help prepare for the certification tests where you can learn and study with other people who are also preparing for certification AND re-certification. If you are not interested in certification, but simply want to improve your legal skills, take this study course just to learn!
