Each web-based course lasts 6 weeks. Each week includes an hour-long instructor-led synchronous session as well as independent reading, a writing assignment and a quiz to check comprehension. The writing assignments are posted in online forums where you will see responses from your fellow legal administrators. The instructor-led sessions are also recorded for on-demand access.

If you successfully complete both HR 1 and HR 2 or FM 1 and FM 2, you are eligible to take an exam for a Legal Management Specialist Certificate.

As these courses have live sessions, they are only available at certain times of the year. The items shown below are open for registration now. If you do not see HR 1, HR 2, the HR Package, FM 1, FM 2, or the FM Package, it is not available for registration now. Please check back soon and keep an eye on email newsletters from ALA for the announcement of future dates.
