ABOUT THE NIGERIAN LAWYERS ASSOCIATION (NLA):The
Nigerian Lawyers Association (NLA) was incorporated in 1999 as a
not-for-profit, non-partisan association of attorneys and
counselors-at-law. While most members are of Nigerian descent, Nigerian
citizenship is not a requirement for membership. 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. For more on NLA
