The ID clinic is now bridging the cultural and linguistic gaps to reach the Asian community. The clinic is a wonderful opportunity for attorneys to volunteer their services Thanks to the efforts of ABAW board member Ellen Szymanski , the ID clinic has been chosen by the Neighborhood Legal Clinic project of the King County Bar Association as a test site for their pilot program to use computer resources at pro-bono clinics. The clinic will collect data and make recommendations to the resource committee. This information will be incorporated into a grant application to provide computer resources to all King County legal clinics. ABAW welcomes all state bar-certified attorneys into its membership.
Membership is FREE to law students.
Regular updates from our committee members and schedules of events will be included as well as job postings for legal-related positions. Thanks to our Membership chair, Kha Dang, our membership has increased significantly with each bar-related event. When I started law school, I struggled to find purpose in minority bar activism. Since joining the ABAW, I ve realized that purpose. As a group, the Asian American community has sought respect and acceptance.
