Networking Groups for Legal Professionals

Associations and online communities worth joining.

I get more out of NALA’s local chapter than the national listserv — , too many dead threads — so try a low-cost chapter event before paying full dues: https://www.nala.org. The sleeper pick is ILTA’s litigation support group; even as a paralegal you can hop into the free webinars and meet the eDiscovery folks who hire. If you want strictly paralegal, NFPA’s member forums are decent, but check if your firm reimburses the fee.
