I further understand that, if applicable, my membership as an Active Voting Member in the Las Vegas Valley Paralegal Association is conditioned upon my continued employment by a supervising licensed attorney. I agree to notify the Association should my employment terminate at any time during the calendar year.

I have read the “Definition of a Legal Assistant” as stated below and I have read and agree to be bound by NALA’s Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility, as well as LVVPA’s Paralegal/Legal Assistant Pledge of Professionalism or Student’s Pledge of Professionalism, espectively, if applicable.
