The Mississippi Association of Legal Assistants, Inc. ("MALA") was founded in 1980 by legal assistants in Mississippi who wished to encourage a high order of ethical and professional attainment. The main purpose of MALA is to promote the profession of the legal assistant or paralegal. MALA supports, encourages and maintain high standards for the service, conduct and ethics of legal assistants. MALA members have the opportunity to further their education through MALA sponsored meetings and seminars. Members are also able to maintain a close tie with county, state and national bar associations as well as with other members of the legal community. MALA is kept abreast of national affairs and news through their affiliation with the National Association of Legal Assistants, Inc.
A legal assistant is "a person, qualified by education, training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible".
