2026 Proposed Governance Changes

NALP leaders recently announced a proposed new membership model — an "All-In" organizational membership for law schools and legal employers. The proposed model would give more of your team access to NALP membership benefits and resources and would also expand voting to more members — for regional elections, there will be a "one-member-one-vote" system, giving individual members the opportunity to get involved and shape the future leadership of NALP.
