Welcome to Jackson Legal Professionals Association(JLPA), our members are located in Jackson, Mississippi and the surrounding Metro area.  We are part of a nationwide association named NALS that was founded in 1929 and incorporated in 1949.

The legal support profession is fast-paced and ever-changing, and NALS and JLPA can help you stay up-to-date on the tools, skills, and resources you need to adapt and grow.  Becoming a member helps you stay informed, make/stay connected to fellow legal professionals, improve your skill set, and support your career. 

We currently have bi-monthly luncheon meetings on the 4th Tuesday of each month with some exceptions so reach out to our Vice President (see the ‘Contact Us’ tab above) for more information, we would love to have you join us!  The speakers at our luncheons are attorneys, administrators, judges, clerks of court, etc.  If you are interested in being a speaker, please reach out to us (see the 'Contact Us' tab above)!

While tangible benefits are always great, NALS offers you the opportunity to belong to the oldest association for legal support professionals and is the only association that is all-inclusive, giving you a home whether you stay on your current path or branch out into a new opportunity in the field.
