In 1996 the USD Paralegal Alumni Association was formed with the goals of promoting high standards in the paralegal profession, providing informational and continuing education meetings for members and supporting the USD Paralegal Program. With an active membership of over 350, the Alumni Association remains committed to those goals.

Quarterly Meetings and newsletters provide forums for this network of alumni, instructors, attorneys and administrators to exchange ideas and discuss opportunities and trends in the paralegal profession.
