National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys
The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) was founded in 1987 as a professional association of attorneys who are dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to seniors and people with special needs.
The NAELA membership is composed of attorneys in the private and public sectors who deal with legal issues affecting seniors and people with disabilities. Members also include judges, law professors, and students.
The primary focus of the academy is education. The academy sponsors continuing legal education programs on elder law for attorneys throughout the year and provides publications and educational materials to its members on a wide range of elder law topics.
The academy seeks to provide support to other organizations serving seniors and people with disabilities. NAELA also examines and advocates on public policy issues facing seniors and people with special needs, but it does not provide direct legal services. If you are seeking legal advice, please contact an elder law attorney in your community. Click NAELA.com to access a list of member attorneys.
