We are the largest and oldest local association of Filipino-American lawyers in the United States. We are dedicated to addressing legal issues confronting the Filipino-American community and the professional concerns of Filipino-American lawyers in Southern California.

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.
