The National Forensic Association is an association of intercollegiate forensic programs, and is a re-organization of the National Individual Events Association and the 1971 and 1972 National Individual Events Tournament founded by Professor Seth C. Hawkins. There are more than 100 members of the National Forensic Association from across the country.
We are not an organization that deals with dead bodies or forensic psychology. If you want to find out more about those areas, we suggest that you conduct a search on your favorite search engine.
