* Our New Membership Tier: Rules & Restrictions

We are now offering brand new NOSSCR members regular membership for $275 per year* for their first two years – a $80 discount! This new rate also applies to employees of not-for-profit organizations, including legal aid and legal services.

New members are defined as individuals who have never been NOSSCR members. The $275 rate will apply for the first two years of membership, after which the regular membership rate applies. Current members in the first year of membership will receive the reduced rate upon renewal for the second year of membership.

NOSSCR members who are employees of not-for-profit organizations are eligible for a reduced regular membership rate of $275. To be eligible for this rate, you must provide proof that you are an employee of an organization with an IRS tax status of a 501(c) corporation. Current NOSSCR members can receive the reduced rate when renewing at the regular membership level with proof of organization status (email it to nosscr@nosscr.org).

LSC grantees can be dues-paying members in groups that require dues and/or engage in restricted activities, but dues must be paid with non-LSC funds. Click here to read the NLADA memo.

There are no refunds for memberships already purchased, regardless of when you joined or renewed.

This is a regular membership. You may choose instead to be a sustaining member at the $550 sustaining member rate.
