Bylaws

We are pleased to announce that our newly amended and approved bylaws, adopted at our Annual Meeting in March 2025, are now in effect. These updates reflect our commitment to transparency, efficiency, and the evolving needs of our organization and members. As part of these changes, a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) requirement has been formally included to support ongoing professional development and uphold the highest standards in our field.

Scholarships

MALA offers scholarships to promote the Certified Paralegal (CP) and Advanced Certified Paralegal (ACP) designations as well as NALA's LEAD Program.   

The Professional Development Committee will review CP, ACP, and LEAD scholarship applications, and award these scholarships on a first-come, first-serve basis throughout MALA’s fiscal year (April 1 to March 31). Scholarships will be presented at MALA’s quarterly telephonic business meetings and at the Annual Meeting. Scholarship recipients will be notified of the date and time when their scholarship will be awarded and must either be present at the meeting to accept the scholarship or write a letter of acceptance to be read at the meeting.
