The American Legal Nurse Consultant Certification Board
The American Legal Nurse Consultant Certification Board (ALNCCB) was established in 1997 by the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants (AALNC) to oversee the Legal Nurse Consultant Certified (LNCC®) credential. While founded by AALNC, the ALNCCB operates as a functionally autonomous board, dedicated solely to the administration and integrity of the LNCC® certification program. The first LNCC Certification exam was administered in 1998.
The board is composed of:
- Six certified legal nurse consultants, and
- One public representative,
The ALNCCB Board demographics reflect the diverse roles, practice settings, and demographic backgrounds of legal nurse consultants nationwide.
