Subject: Looking for study partners until the study group resumes in the fall. Thanks!
Hi Kathryn, Would I be able to join this study group? I am currently studying for the knowledge portion of the exam and hope to take the skills portion in July.
1. I have been working as a legal assistant for a hotel franchisor (My Place Hotels of America) since February of 2025. Prior to this, I was working as a financial assistant for the same company.
2. I am available most evenings after 5:00p.m.
3. I am open to different study methods. I am hoping to be able to get clarification on certain items and bounce ideas off people with goals that are similar to mine.
4. I have finished reading "The Paralegal's Companion" and am currently rereading it to bulk up my knowledge.
Please let me know if there is room for me to join.

Hi Merrie, Thanks for responding! I actually made a separate post because I have officially decided to make a study group. I was hoping for a small group of no more than five people; we meet weekly depending on everyone's schedule, and we go through the recommended NALA book, practice questions, anything we may have trouble comprehending, etc. If you are interested, please see the following information!
My name is Kathryn. I am a current M.S.W. student and legal studies B.S. degree holder who is looking to take her paralegal certification knowledge exam in July/August and the skills test in October. It has been about a year since I finished my bachelor's education, so I definitely need a brush-up, and knowledge from other individuals who are already working paralegals or current students would be incredible as well.
I was hoping to establish a 12-week summer study group starting at the beginning of May. If you are interested, please feel free to respond to this with your email, or reach out to me at kdolan2@gulls.salisbury.edu with the answers to the following questions:
What is your current background? (student, paralegal, etc.)
What is your availability? (Days of the week, times, your current time zone, how many hours a week you would like this group to meet)
Do you have any preferred study methods? What are you hoping to get out of this study group?
Where are you in preparing for the NALA paralegal certification exam? (Which portion of the test are you studying for? When do you hope to test?)
Anything else I should know?
Really looking forward to it!

Hey Kathryn,
I've begun studying on my own, though I'm off to a bit of a slow start. Let me know what you're thinking in terms of forming a study group.
Thanks!

I'm currently studying for the Knowledge exam and would like someone to discuss the chapters with, to help the information stick as I prepare for the test.
