Based in Southern California, PABA, the largest local association of Filipino-American lawyers in the United States, is comprised of attorneys, judges, and law students.  It was formed in response to the legal issues confronting the Filipino-American community and the professional concerns of Filipino-American lawyers and students seeking to enter our profession.  PABA aims to strengthen, educate, and support our community through advocacy, legal clinics, pro bono legal services, continuing education seminars, mentoring programs, and scholarships.
