    ABA Legislative Priorities

    Board Approves Priorities for the Next Two Years

    Now is a great time for ABA members and members of the legal profession to build relationships with their elected officials.

    Now is a great time for ABA members and members of the legal profession to build relationships with their elected officials.

    On February 3, the ABA Board of Governors adopted the association’s legislative and governmental priorities which are now posted on the Governmental Affairs Office (GAO) webpage. These priorities will guide ABA leadership, the GAO’s team of lobbyists, and our grassroots outreach supporting the association’s advocacy efforts during the new 118th Congress.

    Thank you to all the ABA members who responded to our priorities survey and submitted comments. Your input was an important part of the Board’s consideration in this approval process. 

    The ABA Governmental Affairs team is already working with the new Congress, renewing existing relationships and building new ones. Now is a great time for ABA members and members of the legal profession to do the same. Visit our Grassroots Action Center to access tools focused on helping you get to know the new Congress – bios for the freshman members of the House and Senate, lists of lawyers serving in Congress, tips for contacting your elected officials, and more. 

    While on the site, join our Grassroots Action Team and let us know about relationships you have with Members of Congress or their staff. Follow us @ABAGrassroots to learn about significant developments as they happen.

    Congressional action during the 118th Congress will have long-lasting consequences for access to justice, the justice system, and our nation. We need your help to ensure the collective voice of the American legal profession is heard on Capitol Hill.
