How to Join SCALA

If you meet the criteria for membership in the Association of Legal Administrators (ALA), you automatically meet the criteria for membership in the South Carolina Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators (SCALA).

You must be a member of ALA in order to be a member of SCALA. This following link http://www.alanet.org/home.html will take you to the home page of ALA’s website. At the top of the page you may click on the Join ALA tab to see the benefits of membership and how you may join ALA. The criteria for membership are shown on the application form.

Once you become a member of ALA, you become eligible to become a member of SCALA. Annual dues are $60. An SCALA membership application can be downloaded from the following link:

We would encourage and welcome you to join our chapter. We usually meet about six times a year including events such as our annual Vendor Fair.  Most meetings are held in Columbia but we also try to include at least one meeting in the Upstate (Greenville) and one in the Low Country (Charleston) each year.  We have outstanding speakers who present a number of very interesting and relevant topics. The networking with fellow administrators and the exchanging of ideas with each other are valuable parts of what our organization is about.
