We are a non-profit affiliation of NALS...the Association for Legal Professionals, better known as NALS. Our members share NALS' mission and goals and strive to "engage, inspire, enhance and promote" the legal professionals in our area of Northern Nevada. NALS is a tri-level organization and when you are a member of one level you are a member of all three; national, state and local. The Douglas Ca

rson Legal Secretaries Association was chartered in 1985 with 10 members and has evolved to what we have today. Our name change was due to the change at the national level to include all legal support professionals.

Join us in July to hear Judge Graham from Pershing County. He is going to speak to us about Burning Man.

Burning Man was started by Larry Harvey and Jerry James 37 years ago. They first burned “The Man” on a beach in San Francisco. Today the event is held each year at the Black Rock Desert in Pershing County at the end of August.

Our Story

We are a non-profit affiliation of NALS. Our members share NALS' mission and goals and strive to "engage, inspire, enhance and promote" the legal professionals in our area of Northern Nevada.

The Douglas Carson Legal Secretaries Association was chartered in 1985 with 10 members and has evolved to what we have today...Douglas-Carson Legal Professionals, currently at 31 members.

Our State Chapter was formed in the 1970s and evolved into NALS of Nevada. For many decades, NALS of Nevada was committed to providing superb legal support resources to Nevada's legal professionals, one resource of which was its publication of the Legal Forms "Handbook" that many came to know and love. The Handbook and regular annual meetings provided support to Nevada's three local chapters. Sadly, due to changing times and a reduced membership, NALS of Nevada discontinued the publication of the Handbook and dissolved its charter making way to strengthen its local chapters.
