National Lawyers Association

The National Lawyers Association is a voluntary association of lawyers in the United States, similar in many respects to the American Bar Association (ABA), but farther to the political right. It was founded in 1993 in response to the ABA's official position in favor of abortion rights.
Apart from the pro-life stance embedded in the organization's bylaws, the NLA is officially apolitical. The NLA bylaws prohibit the organization from taking a stance on any other social issue without the approval of two-thirds of the total membership.
At present, the NLA has approximately 3,000 members with two student chapters at Ave Maria School of Law and Regent University.
