Our Mission

NAPALSA is the student-led national organization representing Asian Pacific American law students since 1981. Our mission is to provide a national voice for AANHPI law students, foster professional and personal development, and advocate for the dignity of our communities. We work closely with legal and affinity organizations across communities, such as NAPABA and Young Lawyers Network, to provide resources for budding AANHPI lawyers, community-building opportunities, and an advocacy toolkit for leaders of the next generation. NAPALSA is committed to inclusion and representing the diversity of the AANHPI legal community.
