North Dakota Association for Justice

North Dakota Association for Justice (NDAJ) is a nonprofit group for attorneys focused on a civil trial practice. Prior to January of 2008, the organization was known as the North Dakota Trial Lawyers Association.

With more than 100 members, the NDAJ includes many of the most prominent trial lawyers in North Dakota. The organization works to improve the profession through Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars.

Members have the opportunity to network at several meetings held throughout the year.
