New York County Lawyers' Association

The New York County Lawyers' Association (NYCLA) is a bar association located in New York City. The New York County Lawyers' Association was founded in 1908 because the existing bar association excluded some lawyers from membership due to their race, gender, ethnicity or religion. A meeting held in Carnegie Hall in 1907 determined to create a "democratic bar association" and 143 attorneys incorporated the NYCLA a few months later. Throughout its history, NYCLA has included all who wish to join and their focus has been the active pursuit of legal system reform.
