The Montana Association of Legal Assistants*ParalegalsThe Montana Association of Legal Assistants*Paralegals (MALA) was formed in 1992 by a concerned, dedicated group of 15 professionals who recognized the need for a paralegal organization. In 1992 MALA also became an affiliate of the National Association of Legal Assistants. Since its formation, MALA has continually worked to promote the paralegal profession and to broaden public understanding of the role of paralegals. |
