The Nevada Paralegal Association (NPA) is a professional association for paralegals and legal assistants in the Las Vegas Valley, working together to promote the advancement of the paralegal profession within the legal community by encouraging high professional and ethical standards in the education, training, and employment of paralegals. NPA is affiliated with the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA).

In part, our mission is to promote excellence, education, ethical conduct and the enhancement of the paralegal profession. NPA continually works hard to raise its professional standards, and strives to implement continuing education requirements for voting membership.

Our goals include serving the needs and interests of paralegals in the Las Vegas Valley area, and educating employers of the many roles that paralegals play in the delivery of legal services. NPA encourages a high degree of professional standards and ethics among NPA members. NPA supports and promotes the professional goals of NALA.

NPA, formerly CCOLA, was founded in 1978 by a group of paralegals recognizing a need for a professional association for paralegals. NPA is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors and Committee Chairs, elected each summer by its voting members.
