National Agricultural Law Center

The National Agricultural Law Center (NALC) at the University of Arkansas is a federally funded, nonpartisan research and information center that serves as the nation's leading source of agricultural and food law research and information. The center, created by Congress in 1987, is the only institution of its kind in the United States and serves the nation's vast agricultural community, including attorneys, farmers, federal and state policymakers, extension personnel, academics, students, consumers, and others.

The center receives federal appropriations through the United States National Agricultural Library, an entity within the USDA Agricultural Research Service. It partners with nine different institutions, including The Ohio State University, The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, Western Resources Legal Center, Iowa State University, Pennsylvania State University, San Joaquin College of Law, and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
