NALA ACP Criminal Litigation study guide

The NALA ACP Criminal Litigation designation is an Advanced Certified Paralegal credential offered within NALA's certification program. NALA describes itself as offering "the only nationally accredited paralegal certification," and its certification pathway begins with the Certified Paralegal (CP®) credential, described as "the gold standard credential" and "a proud achievement and a career-long commitment." The ACP specialty builds on that foundation for paralegals who want to demonstrate deeper subject-matter knowledge in criminal litigation practice. This credential is intended for working paralegals - NALA notes that its community includes "thousands of paralegals dedicated to professional growth" - including litigation paralegals who support criminal matters and want a credential that signals specialized competence to employers and attorneys. Candidates typically already hold or are pursuing the CP credential.
