Congratulations to AABAR'S 2025 Judge William and Sandra Haddad Outstanding Law Students Award

 The Arab American Bar Association (AABAR) celebrated its 35th Anniversary and Inaugural Scholarship Gala on Saturday, April 26, 2025. The sold-out event honored the Honorable William J. Haddad (ret.) with the Founder's Legacy Award and recognized five exceptional law students with the William and Sandra Haddad Outstanding Law Students Award. (Pictured from left to right: AABAR Board Members Professor John Breen, Donna Haddad, Matthew Fakhoury, and Hon. William J.

"Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others." 

- Danny Thomas, Arab American, Founder, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital


Dedicated to supporting aspiring lawyers, the Foundation provides essential resources for academic and professional success. Rooted in the belief that education is the cornerstone of empowerment, we stand committed to bridging the gap between ambition and achievement by offering scholarships to our law student members and advancing justice for all.


A scholarship is not just financial assistance, it is an act of faith in our future as Arab American lawyers. It is the single most important thing we can do to encourage law students to enter the legal profession and to protect the Rule of Law, especially at this important time.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR 2025 AABAR INAUGURAL SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION GALA SPONSORS

The AABAR Scholarship Foundation will award scholarships to meritorious law students attending an accredited Illinois law school pursuing a juris doctorate degree who have demonstrated interest in and commitment to the Arab American community through coursework, extracurricular activities, leadership, service, or volunteering. The number of scholarships will be decided based upon available funds. The availability of scholarships will be made known to various Illinois law school admissions offices.
