The Nigerian Lawyers Association (NLA) was incorporated in 1999 as a not-for-profit, non-partisan association of attorneys, law graduates and law students.
NLA represents the interests of attorneys of Nigerian descent both in the United States and all over the world. It advances the professional needs of its growing members and provides leadership and advocacy for the legal needs and interests of the Nigerian community in the United States and around the world.
NLA's principal objectives are to cultivate the science of jurisprudence, facilitate and advance the fair and equitable administration of justice, serve the needs of the members of the Nigerian legal community, as well as the Nigerian community as a whole, in their understanding and access to the law and to educate and assist such persons in their day to day dealings with the law.
About the NLA's Yahoogroup Forum
The NLA Forum was established to provide NLA Members with direct online access to the NLA network. The NLA Forum is intended to provide a collegial online environment through which members can share their expertise with other members, discuss matters of professional or academic interest, request for and exchange information primarily on matters related to law, legal education and legal practice areas and inform other members of events that would enhance the professional development and legal education of members (including professional networking events). The NLA Forum was established as an initiative of the 2008 NLA administration.
