What an AMAZING evening thanks to our outstanding CLE speakers, Judge Haddad, Edward Eshoo, and Emil Totonchi! Thank you to all who participated. 

The Arab American Bar Association of Illinois proudly joins the Chicago Bar Association’s newly formed Racial Justice Coalition (RJC)! Senator Dick Durbin launched the Coalition by speaking to members about the Justice in Policing Act of 2020.

We are devastated by the loss of life and destruction suffered by our brothers and sisters in Lebanon, following an explosion in the port of Lebanon's capital city on August 4, 2020. We ask that you please consider donating what you can as Lebanon needs our full support.
