What does NJA mean in LAW & LEGAL

The Nevada Justice Association (NJA) is a non-profit organization that works to protect and preserve civil justice rights for all Nevadans. NJA advocates on behalf of individuals, families, and small businesses who have been harmed by negligence or unfair practices. Additionally, the NJA works to ensure that access to our civil justice system is available to all Nevadans regardless of their ability to pay.

The NJA’s advocacy efforts include monitoring legislation that affects consumer rights, working with regulators and agencies to enhance consumer protection laws, and working with industry groups on issues of concern. In addition, the NJA educates consumers about their rights through public campaigns and provides support services such as legal advice, representation in court proceedings, and assistance with filing consumer complaints.

Membership in the NJA is open to anyone who supports its mission of protecting civil justice rights for Nevadans. The NJA membership includes attorneys, consumer advocates, non-profit organizations, business owners, and ordinary citizens who believe in preserving our right to a fair civil justice system.

Members of the NJA receive access to educational resources on topics related to consumer protection law; invitations to member events; discounts on legal services; access to networking opportunities with other members; and access to exclusive research reports conducted by the NJA’s experts on timely issues in civil justice law.

Yes! The NVJL has been involved in countless litigation cases throughout its history defending individuals against corporations whose unprincipled conduct has led them into trouble within the court system. These cases range from fighting unfair labor practices and corporate malfeasance handled before trial courts up through complex multi-party cases heard before appellate courts throughout Las Vegas.

One recent success was when we successfully defended an elderly woman whose landlord had engaged in unlawful discrimination against her due solely her age—we were able secure a monetary settlement for her which included payment for her rent arrears plus additional damages caused by emotional distress stemming from this unfair treatment.
