Expanding Equal Access to Justice since 1911
About us
National Legal Aid & Defender Association (NLADA), founded in 1911, is America’s oldest and largest nonprofit association devoted to excellence in the delivery of legal services to those who cannot afford counsel. For over 100 years, NLADA has pioneered access to justice at the national, state and local level through the creation of our public defender system, development of nationally applicable standards for legal representation, groundbreaking legal legislation and the creation of important institutions such as the Legal Services Corporation. NLADA serves as the collective voice for our country’s civil legal aid and public defender services and provides advocacy, training, technical assistance and the NLADA Insurance Program to its members, who are comprised of legal professionals, institutions and the people they represent.

🎉 Happy Juneteenth 2024 from NLADA! On this day in 1865 – two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation – Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to inform more than 250,000 enslaved African Americans in the state that slavery had ended. At NLADA we fight every day to advance racial equity and access to justice. Today, we celebrate resilience, freedom, and justice. Happy Juneteenth! 🌟 #Juneteenth #SocialJustice #NLADA #Equity
