Description:

The North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers (NCATL) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan association dedicated to protecting people's rights through professional and community legal education, championing individual rights, and protecting the safety of North Carolina's families -- in the workplace, in the home, and in the environment.

Mission/Aims:

The NCATL was formed 40 years ago by a small group of trial lawyers who wanted to protect peoples' rights. Today, the NCATL has almost 4,000 members and is one of the top protectors of individual rights in North Carolina. Academy members champion individual rights and protect the safety of North Carolina’s families in the workplace, in the home, and in the environment – they represent those injured by the wrongdoing of others, workers, the disabled, those with family problems, consumers, those in debt, and those accused of crime.

In addition to protecting people's rights, the NCATL serves as a valuable aid for lawyers, providing numerous seminars to help attorneys improve their skills and to update them on changes in law. The NCATL also celebrates public service via the Wade Edwards Mock Trial Program and other public education initiatives.
