celebrate their common cultural heritage and to form valuable, lifelong relationships and
professional networks. NIABA members come from all walks of the legal profession,
encompassing public and private sector attorneys, judges, and law professors and
students; but they are united by their pursuit of a common cause.

professionals, NIABA hosts a scholarship program for students in partnership
with the National Italian American Foundation.
