The North Carolina Advocates for Justice - originally called the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers - was formed 40 years ago by a small group of trial lawyers who wanted to protect peoples' rights. Today, the Academy has almost 4,000 members and is one of the top protectors of individual rights in North Carolina. NCAJ members champion individual rights and protect the safety of North Carolina’s families in the workplace, in the home, and in the environment – they represent those injured by the wrongdoing of others, workers, the disabled, those with family problems, consumers, those in debt, and those accused of crime.
The NCAJ developed its site to serve as a valuable aid to lawyers, providing resources and networking opportunities to help attorneys improve their skills and to update them on changes in law. This site also helps keep members informed about legal developments and Academy happenings through several different publications and mediums.
Furthermore, the NCAJ created a public site designed specifically for the general public with information about consumer protection, its mission and goals, as well as information on finding a lawyer in their community.
Site offerings include:
E-mail news service containing pertinent national legal news.
Bi-weekly newsletter, BriefNotes
Listserves allowing members to get answers to questions and to share news and information with other members
E-clips, a daily e-mail news service containing pertinent national legal news
