The National Consumer Law Center is a non-profit organization established in 1969 and dedicated to helping consumers and advocates use the powerful and complex array of consumer laws available to them. NCLC publishes many practice-oriented treatises by legal experts. Many are available in print in the stacks, but may be out of date—for the current edition, use the law library subscription to NCLC's Digital Library (see "My NCLC," individual registration not required).
