How to Set Up Your Member Portal Account:

Everyone has to do this their first time logging into our new system.

Everyone will have their own account, whether attorney, administration, paralegal, etc. You should not be logging in as another person to register yourself or other people. Everything can be done from your own personal account.

  1. Go to our Welcome Page.
  2. Click “Sign Up”.
  3. Make sure you are on the “Set Up an Account” tab. Enter your email address IMLA has on file, set a password, and enter your first and last name.
  4. On the next screen, you should be able to type your full name in. Once you have done so, the system will search our records for any matches. If you had a MyIMLA account before we switched over to the new system, your record should pop up, and you should be able to link your old information to your newly set up account.
  5. Your account should be set up!
