About Us

Originally incorporated in 1981, as the “Las Vegas Chapter of the National Bar Association,” the LVNBA (the only bar association in Nevada serving the African-American legal community), is Nevada’s only affiliate chapter of the National Bar Association (“NBA”), which is the oldest minority bar and the largest organization of African-American attorneys in the United States.  Formed in 1925, the NBA was created when the American Bar Association (“ABA”) was racially segregated and did not allow African-Americans to join.  Although the ABA changed its policy several decades later, the NBA and its affiliates continue to address the legal issues and social, economic disparities that are unique to the African-American community.
