National Legal Advisory Council

NIFLA’s pregnancy center members will periodically seek state-specific legal advice from NIFLA. Since each state law can vary, our Legal Advisory Council (LAC) attorneys are available as a resource for those seeking to understand and implement the particular nuances of state laws that impact their centers. LAC members have access to all NIFLA resources to aid them in providing excellent legal counsel to local pregnancy centers.

In addition, LAC members are eligible to be listed as a legal referral for Patriot Insurance, the national insurance program for pregnancy centers. Patriot will only retain attorneys that are members of the LAC to defend pregnancy centers in court when legal claims are brought against them.
