The IATL Foundation is a nonprofit entity and contributions made to it are tax deductible. The Foundation received its charter in 1983. The purpose of the Foundation is: “to promote reform in law, facilitate the administration of justice and cultivate the science of jurisprudence”. The Foundation is an independent entity that is separate from the Academy.
The Foundation has contributed to numerous legal programs including the National Institute of Trial Advocacy. It has financed programs around the world where Academy members interact with people of other nations to teach American techniques utilized in our judicial system especially as it related to jury trials. In 1994, the Academy embarked on a program, which has come to be known as the China Program. The Foundation has furnished the major part of the funding for this program that has proved to be so successful. Were it not for the generosity of the Fellows of the Academy these programs would not exist.
