    About Us

    ​

    The Arab American Bar Association ("AABA") is an organization committed to diversity and inclusion in the legal profession, with a focus on assisting in the recruitment, retention, and advancement of  individuals of Arab descent in law schools and in the legal profession.  

    ​

    Unfortunately, the presence and participation of individuals of Arab descent in the legal profession is limited.  AABA seeks to provide the resources necessary to youth to spark their interest in the law and to ensure their success in the law school application process and beyond.  Please visit our "Membership" page to join AABA and to learn more about how you can support our work.
