About National Legal Aid and Defender Association (NLADA)
We are the National Legal Aid & Defender Association (NLADA), and for over a century, we have stood as America’s oldest and largest non-profit association devoted to excellence in the delivery of legal services to those who cannot afford counsel. We believe that equal justice is a fundamental right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy. Since our founding in 1911, we have led a broad national effort to ensure that low-income individuals across the United States have access to high-quality public defense and civil legal aid. We serve as the collective voice for a diverse community of advocates, including legal aid offices, public defender agencies, pro bono programs, and individual professionals who are dedicated to safeguarding the rights of the most vulnerable among us.
We provide advocacy, guidance, information, training, and technical assistance to our members, empowering them to serve their communities more effectively. We are passionate about dismantling systemic barriers and creating a legal system that is fair, equitable, and accessible to everyone, regardless of economic status. Through our comprehensive conferences, leadership development programs, and policy initiatives, we strive to elevate the standards of legal representation and promote racial equity within the justice system. We invite you to join us in our enduring mission to secure justice for all and to ensure that the promise of the American legal system is fulfilled for every individual.
