About National Bar Association

The National Bar Association (NBA) was founded in 1925 and is the nation’s oldest and largest global network of predominantly Black American attorneys and judges. Organized around 24 substantive law Sections, 10 Divisions, 12 Regions, and 80 Affiliate Chapters, the National Bar Association represents the interests of approximately 67,000 lawyers, judges, law professors, and law students.

The National Bar Association seeks to advance the science of jurisprudence; improve the administration of justice; preserve the independence of the judiciary and uphold the honor and integrity of the legal profession; to promote professional and social intercourse among the members of the American and the international bars; to promote legislation that will improve the economic condition of all American citizens, regardless of race, sex or creed in their efforts to secure a free and untrammeled use of the franchise guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States; and to protect the civil and political rights of the citizens and residents of the United States.
