OUR MISSION
NAPALSA is the student-led national organization representing Asian Pacific American law students since 1981. Our mission is to provide a national voice for APA law students, foster professional and personal development, and advocate for the dignity of our communities. We work closely with legal and affinity organizations across communities, such as NAPABA and Young Lawyers Network, to provide resources for budding APA lawyers, community-building opportunities, and an advocacy toolkit for leaders of the next generation. NAPALSA is committed to inclusion and representing the diversity of the APA legal community.
WHAT WE DO
NAPALSA collaborates with professional organizations, such as NAPABA and Young Lawyers Network, as well as national, regional, and institutional affinity groups to provide community-building and professional resources to APA law students.
​
We annually host regional social events and networking opportunities, as well as virtual programming on different professional pathways, such as the path to clerkships, pre-OCI processes, and public interest careers.
Connect with other APA attorneys at our event at the NAPABA Conference, or other events we host throughout the year.
We offer a combination of virtual and in-person, programming across the nation to help give students the tools to pave their legal pathway. Whether it be learning more about a specific area of law, or the path to the judicial bench, we have resources for you!
On top of our professional resources, we offer regional social programming throughout the year with other APALSAs and affinity group organizations.
Connect with other APA attorneys at our event at the NAPABA Conference, or other events we host throughout the year.
