At the end of each Congress, the ABA Governmental Affairs Office (GAO) surveys the entire ABA membership to solicit their views on which ABA policies should be the focus of the Association’s advocacy efforts for the next Congress. Providing input is your opportunity to have your voice heard on what issues are most important to you.
It will take members less than ten minutes to complete the survey, and the input we receive will be indispensable to informing the ABA’s advocacy priority-setting process.
The survey results will be presented to the Board of Governors at the ABA Midyear Meeting in January. The Board will consider ABA member input, along with a set of criteria (breadth and strength of ABA interest; importance to the practice of law; public perception of the profession; opportunity for impact; potential for achievement; timeliness of issue; expertise of lawyers on the issue; importance to society; and importance to the administration of justice) to determine the list of priorities.
