How Online ADR and Jury Research Saves Time and Money, with Better Outcomes
June 25  |  Non-Sub  |  CLE Hours: 1
First Court has leveraged technology to improve two costly and time-intensive practices - mediation and jury research. This presentation uses case studies to illustrate how legal professionals have used these tools to improve their work outcomes, reduce expenses and free up time to focus on their highest-value work. 

Grow Your Leadership Skills with NALA
NALA believes it is important for paralegals to focus on leadership development. That's why we've created two leadership bundles: Personal Leadership and Organizational Leadership. These new bundles provide paralegals with the opportunity to learn, grow and develop both their personal and organizational leadership skills with the help of interactive activities and module assessments to measure your comprehension of the material. There is also a free Leadership Basics course for NALA members.
