Member Groups

Ellen Jakovic

The ABA's greatest strength is in its diversity. The substantive expertise from the Antitrust Law Section that I receive benefits my career as an Antitrust lawyer. It's almost impossible to really be at the forefront of Antitrust law and not be a member of the ABA Antitrust Section.

Diversity

Yvette Ann Walker

As a young black woman, I went through law school and I've gone through the beginning of my career not actually being able to see, follow and learn from people who look like me until I started coming to the ABA Conferences. Being able to have access to so many different lawyers that do exactly what I do, but better or that do something entirely different has really been able to help me to accelerate my own career.

Networking

It is probably one of the main professions where your network is your actual network so in order to increase your network we try to encourage students to join the American Bar Association because it is one of the largest networks any young lawyer could have.
