Certified Paralegal Exam Job Analysis Task Force Spotlight 

The NALA Certifying Board provides oversight for the development and ongoing maintenance of the Certified Paralegal Examination. The Certifying Board, NALA certification staff, and trained subject matter experts work in partnership with a qualified psychometric consultant to ensure the examination is developed and maintained in a manner consistent with generally accepted testing practices and utilizes best practices, according to national accreditation standards for certification programs. 

NALA conducts job analysis studies approximately every five to seven years to identify and validate the knowledge and skills measured by the examination. The results of the job analysis studies serve as the basis for exam specifications. NALA and the Certifying Board’s Job Analysis Task Force completed their most recent job analysis at the end of 2022, which has informed the new CP Exam specifications that will begin in 2024. 

This month, we are shining a well-deserved spotlight on the committee who made this possible.

Thank you to each of the following for their dedication to the paralegal profession:
