Certifications That Boost Your Career

Discuss which credentials have been worth it for you.

Getting the NALA CP was the most “worth it” for me — about 8 weeks of evening study and a few hundred in fees, and my firm bumped my billable rate and gave me more complex assignments; details are at Certification – NALA. If you’re deep in eDiscovery, a Relativity cert might have faster ROI, but CP gave me the best baseline credibility; for anything case-specific, I still loop in an attorney rather than leaning on the credential?
