Increase Your Legal Literacy

The Education Law Association (ELA) is the premier forum for current, aspiring, or retired professionals involved in public and private K-12 or postsecondary education, in legal practice in the area of education law, as well as in education policy organizations, who are interested in practical knowledge, scholarship, and interdisciplinary dialogue about the intersection of our educational and legal systems.

ELA is a collegial community of scholars and practitioners, including professors, attorneys, law and graduate students, school and college/university administrators, advocates, consultants, public officials, policy experts, and others. The association publishes books used as professional resources and textbooks; publishes and edits legal periodicals and updates about the organization and its members; holds an annual conference, webinars, and seminars; maintains a online library of member resources; and above all provides a forum for professional networking and the collaborative development and sharing of knowledge.

A nonprofit member association, ELA offers its uniquely diverse membership unbiased information about current legal issues affecting education and the rights of those involved in education. For education professionals and legal advocates serving educational institutions, or for other clients engaged with them, ELA has been an indispensable resource since 1954.
