Staff support provided by the ABA Division for Public Education

The American Lawyers Auxiliary (ALA) is a national network of lawyers' spouses affiliated with the American Bar Association. Founded in 1958, the ALA is a charitable and educational non-profit organization with individual and institutional members nationwide.

The mission of the American Lawyers Auxiliary is to promote understanding of the American legal system through our national network of lawyers' spouses. The ALA strives to provide a communication network to bring our unique strengths to the preservation and enhancement of the American legal system, and to preserve the integrity of our legal heritage through citizenship education.

Each year the ALA recognizes teachers, concerned citizens, auxiliaries, and individual members who have excelled in their support of our goals. See Annual Awards for more information, and check out the elementary teaching unit Laws, Rights, and Responsibilities.

The ALA works with more than 90 state and local affiliate groups nationwide. Read more about the ALA and ABA partnership.
