Welcome to our Website! The New Orleans Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators is 120 members strong and growing! We are proud to be part of the Association of Legal Administrators representing 10,000 plus members in over 30 countries.

I invite you to take advantage of the many opportunities a membership will provide to enhance your skills and knowledge while networking with other administrators just like you. Each month we present educational opportunities for our members to learn something new, obtain insight in a particular area, and to make new professional contacts.

Browse though our New Orleans ALA website, which will give you the opportunity check out our calendar and view activities both past and planned. Clink on the link to the ALA’s International Website, which can be accessed at www.alanet.org. You will be amazed at the information that is available for legal administrators! National ALA also provides an educational calendar outlining what’s coming up next. Most notable is the ALA’s International Conference scheduled for May in Boston the first week of May. It’s not too late to sign up to attend! The list of educational opportunities seems endless.

If the National Conference in Boston is not your cup of tea, look ahead to October. Our Regional Conference will be in Dallas, Texas. More details will be available in the coming months. Let us hear from you if you need more information – it’s all here for the asking.

Come on in and get to know us better! We would love to get to know YOU!
