The New York County Lawyers' Association celebrated 100 years of establishment in 2008. NYCLA's bedrock principles have been the inclusion of all who wish to join and the active pursuit of legal system reform. From the beginning, NYCLA has pioneered some of the most far-reaching and tangible reforms in American jurisprudence. The Association has also had a powerful impact on both the law and public policy.
