Welcome to the Nauru Law Society
The Nauru Law Society (NLS) is the professional body representing legal practitioners in the Republic of Nauru. Established under Part 8 of the Legal Practitioners Act 2019, the Society promotes the integrity, independence, and excellence of the legal profession while upholding the rule of law and improving access to justice.
Our mission is to advance the practice of law, support professional development, and protect the interests of the public and the profession.
As the official voice of the legal community in Nauru, the Society works closely with the judiciary, government agencies, and regional partners to strengthen the justice sector, ensure ethical legal practice, and enhance access to legal resources and education.
Join us in advancing the legal profession in Nauru.
