ABOUT THE CLIENT SECTION

At the March 2001 meeting, the NLADA Board of Directors created the NLADA Client Section. The purpose of this section is to promote the mission of NLADA by providing a forum for clients of legal aid and indigent defense programs to voice their interest and concerns as NLADA members, as customers of legal assistance, and as advocates for themselves. Membership is open to all NLADA members, with a special focus on NLADA client members.
