Dues & Eligibilty

The AALA Membership Year is June 1-May 31 each year.  There are two different membership class categories.

 

Regular $ 200.00

Regular members shall include those individuals with a professional interest in the subject of agricultural law. This category includes educators and researchers involved in resident instruction, continuing education, extension or research that deals with agricultural law topics, and practitioners who regularly engage in advising farmers or ranchers, agribusiness firms, or other agencies and associations that deal with agricultural matters.

 

Student $ 30.00

Student memberships include those individuals presently in full-time training for academic professional positions or whose training will permit them to serve in agricultural advisory capacities. Student membership cannot be maintained for longer than five years.

 

Dues payments to the American Agricultural Law Association are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. However, dues payments may be deductible as an ordinary business expense. Because none of your dues are used for lobbying by AALA, 100% of the total dues may be deductible for income tax purposes. You should consult your own tax, legal, and accounting advisors before claiming a deduction.
