Philippine American Bar Association

Philippine American Bar Association Founded over 40 years ago, the Philippine American Bar Association is the oldest and largest association of Fil-Am lawyers in the U.S. - Mabuhay!

Comprised of attorneys, judges, and law students, PABA was formed to address legal issues confronting the Filipino-American community and to meet the professional concerns of Filipino-American lawyers in Southern California. PABA sponsors community legal clinics focusing on various areas of the law and provides pro bono legal services. In addition, PABA provides continuing legal education seminars and professional development opportunities for its members and assists Filipino-American law students through its scholarship and fellowship funds and mentorship programs.
