ELA (The Education Law Association) - the premier source of information on education law

The Education Law Association, formerly NOLPE, is a nonprofit, nonadvocacy organization that promotes interest in and understanding of the legal framework of education and the rights of students, parents, school boards and school employees. The Mission of ELA is to bring together educational and legal scholars and practitioners to inform and advance educational policy and practice through knowledge of the law. Together, our professional community anticipates trends in educational law and supports scholarly research through the highest value print and electronic publications, conferences, seminars, and professional forums. Membership is open to all individuals and organizations with a special interest in education law. Current members include practicing attorneys, administrators, faculty members in schools of education and law schools, school board members, public and private school administrators and teachers, staff members of state and federal education agencies and professional associations, libraries, and students.
