WHO WE ARE

MABUHAY!

Founded over 40 years ago, the Philippine American Bar Association (PABA) is the largest local association of Filipino-American lawyers in the United States. Comprised of attorneys, judges, and law students, it was formed to address the legal issues confronting the Filipino-American community and to meet the professional concerns of Filipino-American lawyers in Southern California.

PABA provides continuing legal education seminars and professional development opportunities for its members and assists Filipino-American law students through scholarships and mentorship programs.  In addition, PABA partners with community organizations to address concerns within local Filipino-American communities.
