In July 2016, the National Bar Association (NBA) installed Alfreda Robinson, Associate Dean for Trial Advocacy, Professorial Lecturer in Law, and Co-Director of the Litigation and Dispute Resolution Program, as an Elected Board-Member-At-Large of its Board of Directors.

“It is a tremendous honor to become an Elected Board Member-At-Large, and thus, a member of the NBA’s Executive Committee of the Board of Governors. I look forward to working with the organization’s leadership in this new capacity, particularly in the areas of U.S. Presidential nominations and appointments and military and veterans affairs," said Associate Dean Robinson. 

The NBA Executive Committee is responsible for the establishment and implementation of NBA policy and practice between Board of Governors and Convention meetings. In addition, Associate Dean Robinson received the NBA Presidential Award – her 13th NBA honor, including the organization’s highest honor, the C. Francis Stradford Award.

The National Bar Association was founded in 1925 by a group of prominent African American attorneys, whose members have played a critical role in every significant civil rights case, including Brown v. Board of Education (1954). It is the nation’s oldest and largest national network of predominantly African-American attorneys and judges. The NBA is organized around 23 substantive law sections, 9 divisions, 12 regions and 80 affiliate chapters throughout the United States and around the world.
