AEF is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporation established by the Asian Pacific American Bar Association (APABA) of the Greater Washington, DC Area, Inc.

AEF was established to encourage law students to become active members
of the legal community and to support Asian Pacific Americans in the legal
profession. In this spirit, AEF continues to host a strong set of programs that
provide law students with educational resources and introduce them to the
D.C. Asian Pacific American legal community. As others have helped us along
the way in our careers, we, as attorneys, have a responsibility to help those
who come after us.
