The Missouri Association of Legal Secretaries was organized in 1956 to unite all persons employed in Missouri in work of a legal nature for the purpose of exchanging ideas, increasing knowledge of the law, and stimulating a higher order of business and professional attainment. MALS sponsors a wide variety of programs and activities throughout the year designed to increase the effectiveness, expertise and skills of legal secretaries, legal assistants, and other non-attorney personnel. Our primary function is to raise and maintain standards of performance by our members. In the same manner as the bar association functions for its members, MALS attempts to inspire law office staff to obtain professional excellence. Continuing legal education which is beneficial to the cross-section of MALS members is provided.
Career development is enhanced.
Experts and authorities continue to research new methods, techniques, and products to provide the best resources at all levels in the association.
