The North Central Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association is a venerable group of trial lawyers in North Central Pennsylvania which has functioned, initially informally, since the 1970's. Eventually, a PAC was formed as well entitled North Central Pennsylvanians for a Brighter Future PAC.
NCPaTLA is not affiliated with any other organization, although it does communicate with an liaison with other organizations of a legal character. The purposes of NCPaTLA are to inform, educate and advocate on behalf of lawyers regardless of party affiliation in an effort to make trial practice professionally satisfying, productive and just.
We have developed an outstanding relationship with the Bench. Many state and federal judges over the years have spoken to our group. The counties where our members practice law are as follows: Bradford; Centre, Clearfield; Clinton; Columbia; Lycoming; Northumberland; Snyder; Tioga; and Union.
As a qualified Continuing Legal Education provider, NCPaTLA hopes to continue its tradition of benefiting its members through growth in our skillset. NCPaTLA has also attempted to work with legislators and those in other capacities who, through their conduct, affect the legal system.
