The National Bar Association (NBA) was founded in 1925 and is the nation's oldest and largest national network of predominantly African-American attorneys and judges. It represents the interests of approximately 67,000 lawyers, judges, law professors, and law students.[2]

The NBA is organized around 25 substantive law sections, 10 divisions, 12 regions, and numerous affiliate chapters throughout the United States and around the world.[3][4] The current and 80th president is Lonita Baker. She will be followed by president-elect Dominique D. Calhoun.[5]
