Support NLADA

For more than 100 years, NLADA has provided solution-based and creative leadership to the community of equal justice advocates. We are America's oldest and largest nonprofit association devoted to excellence in the delivery of legal services to those who cannot afford counsel. NLADA has pioneered access to justice at the national, state, and local levels, and works to establish and strengthen the nation's public defense and civil legal aid systems. There is no other legal organization that touches on all the access points of poverty as does NLADA.
