Elder Law Attorneys

Unions and Associations

Elder law attorneys are not represented by unions, but many join the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the American Bar Association (which has a Commission on Law and Aging). Additionally, the American Association of Trusts, Estates and Elder Law Attorneys is an "invitation-only, professional association of estate planning and elder law attorneys from across the United States." The National Elder Law Foundation and the National Board of Trial Advocacy provide certification to elder law attorneys. Other important organizations for lawyers include the Association of American Law Schools and the Law School Admission Council, which provide advice on applying to and succeeding in law school.
