Here's How NAA's Legal Assistance Program

Protects Our Industry

If your company is involved in a case at the appellate level, NAA can help by submitting a "friend of the court" (amicus curiae) brief on your behalf.  NAA's appellate Legal Assistance Program (LAP) provides expert attorneys who draft and submit a legal brief that:   

• Supplements and strengthens the arguments your counsel makes to the court.
• Reminds the court of the national policy implications of your case and why your company's legal position strengthens the country's vital housing industry.

So far this year, NAA has filed briefs on behalf of the apartment industry in three high-profile cases on issues including immigration, disparate impact and housing vouchers.   

If you want help with your court case, the LAP Committee will review your request based on a number of factors.  To find out more, go here.
