2026 National NALSA Annual Conference
“Building Community and Institutional Knowledge for Future Indigenous Legal Warriors.”
Welcome to the 2026 National NALSA Annual Conference & Reception!
Let’s come together as a community to celebrate our 56th Anniversary as an organization and to honor this year’s graduating class. Our Conference Committee has curated two days of programming where we can explore the expansiveness of Federal Indian Law as well as identify ways to serve Indian Country as Legal Warriors.
We will also host the 2026 National NALSA Reception with special guests and are partnering with NABA-AZ for their Golf Tournament on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
The American Indian Law Center, Inc.

Travel reimbursements are available for qualified students.
