The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association is the only national association of Asian Pacific American attorneys, judges, law professors, and law students comprised of approximately 59 local APA bar associations, and individual members whose practice settings range from solo practices to large firms, corporations, legal services organizations, non-profit organizations, and governmental agencies.
Currently, NAPABA is supported only by a portion of the proceeds of its national annual convention and membership fees assessed through its local affiliates. This is not enough for a national organization. The enhanced membership program will allow you to participate directly with NAPABA at five levels of participation.
The Law Student Level participation involves a $25 annual contribution.
The Bronze Level participation involves a $50 annual contribution.
The Silver Level participation involves a $100 annual contribution.
The Gold Level participation involves a $250 annual contribution.
The Platinum Level participation involves a $500 annual contribution.
