Civil Policy Group and Committees

The Civil Policy Group's primary objective is to develop programs and policies that support NLADA members. The main duties of the Civil Policy Group include:

  • initiating policy and programs, subject to board approval, relating to the provision of civil legal services
  • reviewing all matters of interest to legal services organizations
  • procuring a budget
  • determining the Civil Division's program
  • issuing policy statements
  • participating as Amicus Curiae on civil legal services related issues in the name of NLADA
  • engaging in appropriate activities in support of legal services organizations

Civil Policy Group members are generally elected on a regional basis, and include management, staff and clients from legal aid programs nationwide. Persons who are elected or appointed to the Civil Policy Group must maintain current individual membership in the Association throughout their terms on the Civil Policy Group.
