It’s Advocacy Enhanced. And Mentorship Reimagined. Welcome to the Community.

NITA advances your career and the profession with access to texts and virtual programs. We give you access to the world’s leading experts and best practices for legal advocacy training, both offline and online.
Experience
Our faculty are dedicated to you becoming the best advocate you can be; with decades of experience—some in the courtroom, some focused on pedagogy—they are experts at honing in on the methods to improve your skills. They will encourage you to try new approaches and experiment in the safety of a workshop environment.
COMMUNITY
Our community not only provides you access to the most highly acclaimed and esteemed legal advocates in the world, it provides opportunities to join us in impacting others.
