Our Goals
We are committed to furthering the American Bar Association’s four goals:
Serve Our Members
We provide exceptional benefits, programs, and opportunities to advance our members' engagement and education on important civil rights and social justice issues facing our communities.
Improve Our Profession
We offer quality live and on-demand education on critical legal issues, legislative updates, and public service or pro bono projects for members to meaningfully contribute to the profession and society.
Eliminate Bias and Enhance Diversity
The success and reputation of the Section requires a high level of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within its membership and leadership that informs its positions and advocacy to advance civil rights and social justice issues, and we actively ensure our membership reflects this diversity.
Advance the Rule of Law
We strive to increase the legal profession's and public's understanding of and respect for the rule of law, the legal process, and the role of the legal profession in protecting the human rights and civil liberties of all persons.
