National Legal Aid & Defender Association (NLADA)

The National Legal Aid & Defender Association (NLADA) is a U.S. nonprofit membership organization dedicated to civil legal aid and public defense. NLADA organizes and hosts conferences, trainings, and an annual conference (e.g., NLADA Annual Conference / AC2025) that provide skills-building and knowledge-sharing for public defenders, civil legal aid attorneys, and other justice-system practitioners. While NLADA’s primary focus is legal aid and public defense rather than court administration or court clerk-specific conferences, its events serve judicial officers, defense counsel, and other justice-system professionals, making it relevant to the user’s search terms (courts conference, judicial summit, justice system, court clerks, judicial officers).
