NLADA’s Annual Conference is the leading national training event of the year for the civil legal aid, indigent defense and public interest law communities. The goal of this national gathering is to offer advocates the latest knowledge and professional skills to enable them to creatively and effectively meet the legal needs of low-income people. The conference also provides equal justice advocates with opportunities to meet and exchange ideas with colleagues from across the country and to fulfill continuing legal education requirements. This year’s conference will focus particular attention on developing strategies where civil legal services and defenders can join together to make equal justice a reality in this nation.
