NAELA Fellows are attorneys who have been members of the Academy for at least three years, whose careers concentrate on elder and special needs law, and who have distinguished themselves both by making exceptional contributions to meeting the needs of older adults and people with disabilities and by demonstrating commitment to the Academy.
Election as a NAELA Fellow signifies that the attorney is recognized by their peers as a model for others, and as an exceptional lawyer and leader. The most significant component in the selection process is commitment and contributions to NAELA through committee participation, programs, and leadership.
