About NAPLA

NAPLA is the oldest and largest of the six regional pre-law advising associations. Founded in 1973, it was incorporated in 1984.

Our Association, with a membership of approximately 400, includes undergraduate pre-law advisors from schools in the northeast and throughout the nation, along with representatives from most ABA-approved law schools in the country.

NAPLA’s goals are:

to advocate for the interests of pre-law undergraduate students and institutions in the counseling and admissions process leading to law-related careers
to improve the skills of pre-law advisors, and
to develop and increase lines of communication between and among pre-law advisors, law school admissions officers and other law-related organizations.
