About the course

This review course is designed to help you prepare for the Certified Paralegal (CP®) Exam, administered by NALA. The four live Saturday sessions focus on the substantive law-related Knowledge Exam, while the independent work period between May 30 and June 30 focuses on building the skills needed for the Skills Exam.


To take the exam, you schedule a time that works for you through NALA's private testing network. You must pass the Knowledge Exam before NALA will allow you to schedule the Skills Exam. The instructor will walk you through the full process and all-important timelines on the first day of class.

Who can attend?

Open to all eligible candidates. NALA determines the eligibility criteria for sitting for the CP® Exam. Review the requirements in full at nala.org/certification/eligibility-requirements/.
Current paralegal students: This session is intended for students who will have completed every course in their paralegal program by the end of May 2026. If you have any remaining coursework in Summer 2026, please wait for the next session beginning November 2026.

Required textbook

Fundamentals for Legal Practitioners and Those Preparing for the CP® Exam
