- The National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) is a non-profit board certification organization in the United States which administers eight national board certification programs for attorneys in Civil Trial Law, Criminal Trial Law, Truck Accident Law, Family Trial Law, Civil Practice Advocacy, Social Security Disability Law, Complex Litigation, and Patent Litigation. Each practice area is managed by a specialty program commission of five leading practitioners. To become board-certified, an attorney must meet substantial professional requirements and undergo a peer review process. There are currently close to 2,000 attorneys who are certified by the NBTA. The organization is led by board of directors of noted trial lawyers, law professors, and judges. Based in Wrentham, Massachusetts, the NBTA's stated mission is to "inform and educate the public concerning legal representation by board-certified specialists" and "recognize and promote excellence in legal advocacy through a national program certifying specialists predicated on high standards of demonstrated competence and integrity." In 2020, NBTA announced the formation of the National Board of Trial Advocacy Foundation. In addition to its board certification programs, the NBTA annually sponsors the Tournament of Champions, an invitation-only competition that showcases some of the nation’s top law students from 16 of the nation's most prestigious schools. Participating schools are invited based on a three-year performance record at the National Trial Competition and the American Association for Justice National Student Trial Advocacy Competition, and performances at prior Tournament of Champions competitions. NBTA is the largest and oldest of the eight private board-certification organizations for attorneys that the American Bar Association (ABA) accredits through its Standing Committee on Specialization. In addition, many state bar organizations maintain certification programs. (en)
