DescThe ABA Center on Children and the Laws mission is to promote access to justice for children and families. Our staff of 21 legal and core professionals work on grant-funded projects across the country that are unified by two complementary goals, to improve legal representation and to improve the legal systems that impact children and families lives. We achieve our mission and goals through a three-tiered approach. First, the Center works in individual communities across the country where it partners with local stakeholders-including courts, child welfare agencies, lawyers, tribes, schools, and legislators-to build the capacity of legal practices and systems that serve children well and to help change those that do not.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4dProgram Service Expenses 10,621,923, Grants and allocations 7,187,075, Revenue 2,031,518 FJE supports several other programs including an accreditation program. The Council of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar is recognized by the US Department of Education DOE as the national accrediting agency for programs that lead to the first professional degree in law. The Supreme Courts and bar examiners in each state, jurisdiction accept graduates of ABA approved law schools as having met the jurisdictions education requirement for bar admission. The law school accreditation process protects clients, the public and the courts by ensuring a sound legal education that prepares law students for admission to the Bar.
Form 990, Part I, Line 4aor program are tailored to the local needs and circumstances. In Africa, ABA ROLI has been active promoting access to justice and integrated services for vulnerable populations and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence advancing human rights with a focus on land rights, womens rights, and indigenous peoples rights strengthening the formal and customary justice sectors strengthening corrections institutions and special criminal courts developing and reforming legal frameworks and building the capacity of local civil society organizations to be active participants promoting the rule of law. In Asia, ABA ROLIs programs have focused predominantly on increasing access to justice for vulnerable populations, combating trafficking in persons, criminal law reform, transitional justice, anti-money laundering and anti-corruption efforts, and strengthening human rights protections, and climate justice and religious, ethnic freedoms. New programming will address data privacy and internet freedom through a regional program. In Europe and Eurasia, ABA ROLIs activities include developing a legal climate for businesses that increases confidence and spurs international investment, supporting local partners to advocate for Internet freedom in the face of government surveillance, digital security threats and loss of privacy promoting human rights and access to justice supporting civil society improving legal education, with the help of the latest technology combating money laundering and corruption by supporting relevant state agencies and advancing the professionalism of the judiciary, prosecutorial services, and the bar. In Latin America and the Caribbean, ABA ROLI continues to support the criminal justice system, especially in handling complex crimes, such as money laundering, narcotrafficking, countering terrorism financing, wildlife trafficking, human trafficking, illegal mining and gender-based violence. We also promote access to justice among civil society organizations and support judicial institutions and law schools to strengthen their skills on oral trial litigation and alternative dispute resolution. In the Middle East and North Africa, ABA ROLI focuses on reform and strengthening of judicial and legal profession, expanding alternative to incarceration, combating trafficking in persons and gender-based violence, anti-money laundering efforts, protecting human rights defenders, combatting hate speech and disinformation, and supporting community dialogue, reconciliation processes, to advance transitional justice efforts. ABA ROLIs cross-regional, Global Programs address barriers to womens access to justice and economic empowerment advance the Women, Peace and Security agenda mentor justice sector professionals support international corruption policy and programming and enhance coordination and collaboration among justice sector practitioners within governments and civil society. Current activities are implemented in over 15 countries through the Anticorruption Policy Research Outreach and Engagement APROE Program the Justice Sector Training, Research and Coordination Plus JusTRAC Program, the Legal Reform Fund LRF Program and the Women and Girls Empowered WAGE Program. More information about the ABA Rule of Law Initiatives work is available at www.abaroli.org.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4bThe Commission has also focused activity on the practice and policy area by working with its Commission and Advisory Committee members in the development of legal resources and practitioner guides, drafting letters to executive agencies and Congress, offering both CLE and non CLE programming, providing speakers for local and national conferences, and organizing a national conference for legal service providers of unaccompanied immigrant children. One example of resource development is the Commissions recently updated Border Primer and companion programming that explains the various enforcement mechanisms used by the Department of Homeland Security DHS at the U.S., Mexico border. Last year, the Commission was awarded a fourth round of funding from the Acacia Center for Justice Acacia, through the Department of Justice, to provide telephonic Legal Orientation Program LOP services through the existing hotline model. The hotline and LOP Information Line services have resulted in connecting individuals in detention with counsel, providing avenues to pay bonds, share information on legal procedures and humanitarian protection, helping to highlight unsafe detention conditions, and identifying detained individuals in need of medical attention. In 2023, Acacia provided funding for the Commission to implement a new, virtual Immigration Court Helpdesk in four immigration courts in the mid Atlantic region. The Commission also began working with the UNHCR to collaborate on their protection hotline and streamline services for unrepresented detained migrants. Each year, hundreds of thousands of migrants seek refuge and opportunity by crossing the U.S., Mexico border. Thousands are detained each year by DHS in South Texas. The children and families primarily come from Central and South America, while adults traveling without children come from countries around the world. Many travel to the United States seeking protection from violence and persecution. They encounter an immigration system that does not afford them the right to government appointed counsel. They must find an attorney or represent themselves in court. Language barriers, a lack of familiarity with U.S. law and court procedures and limited financial resources present formidable obstacles to winning relief from deportation. Nonetheless, many qualify for humanitarian protection such as asylum, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, U and T visas, and others. ProBARs services give migrants a chance to gain safety and stability in the United States. From January 2023 through November 2023, ProBAR provided Know Your Rights presentations to 29,833 mostly detained unaccompanied children and individual legal screenings to 26,439 unaccompanied children. Additionally, ProBARs interdisciplinary team provided 834 social service referrals, 10,708 attorney and NGO referrals, and 914 direct legal service provider referrals. In late 2023, ProBAR established an office in Houston, Texas, to better provide continued representation to the many unaccompanied children who relocate to and remain in the Houston area. On November 9, 2023, IJP celebrated its 15th anniversary in San Diego, California, with over 100 attendees. Former and current clients, former IJP leadership, volunteers, funders, and community partners joined IJP staff, COI staff, and ABA staff over tacos and refreshments at a venue in North Park, San Diego. Clients shared their stories about how IJPs work saved their lives and gave them hope during their most desperate time. In programmatic updates, IJP received a second round of funding from San Diego County to continue its universal representation program for people in custody at the Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego, California, as well as those subject to electronic monitoring in the region. Over 2023, CILA worked to expand from Texas based training and technical assistance to nationwide services. They updated the website that houses all its online resources and updated its pro bono guide and dozens of videotaped trainings and webinars. CILA has also expanded the number of organizations that post cases on its online pro bono platform Pro Bono Matters for Children Facing Deportation. CILA updated its Pro Bono Manual to incorporate many of the latest changes in immigration law affecting children. In May 2023, the Commission on Immigration organized a pro bono trip for its members, liaisons, and staff to ProBAR in Harlingen, Texas. A total of 8 people traveled to the Rio Grande Valley, learning from ProBAR staff and providing legal counsel and advice to immigrants and asylum seekers. The trip included visits to the Port Isabel Detention Center PIDC, La Posada Providencia, the Office of Refugee Resettlement childrens shelters, a migrant shelter in Brownsville, and the Sidewalk School and migrant encampment in Matamoros, Mexico. The trip allowed the volunteers to learn directly about how DHS is implementing the new asylum rule after the ending of Title 42. It also provided direct insight into the extreme suffering that people endure in Mexico while trying to enter the United States. The volunteers left the region with a new appreciation for ProBARs work and the demanding nature of advocacy in a border and detention setting. In 2023 the Commissions pro bono project focused on creating a scalable infrastructure for pro bono opportunities. Regular communications about opportunities, resources and successes were made through COIs Pro Bono Spotlight newsletter. The Commission also continued to concentrate on remote and virtual volunteer opportunities recruiting volunteers to assist Haitians and Venezuelans in applying for Temporary Protected Status through a remote program. In response to families on expedited dockets before the immigration courts, the Commission created a new platform to highlight cases in need of representation and created a Pro Bono Guide and monthly substantive training. The Commission also developed numerous resources and delivery service models to respond to the tens of thousands of Afghan asylum seekers. The models have been modified to respond to not only other immigrant populations, but defensive cases before the immigration court. Finally, in collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE, COI has been working on developing pro se videos for immigrants in need of information about their proceedings or remedies available to them. In 2024, the Commission plans to engage in the following activities Continue to develop a national expansion of the CILAs technical assistance resources. Continue to implement a universal representation model for individuals detained in the San Diego region. Expand services through the Immigration Court Helpdesk program in the midAtlantic region. Organize an in person national conference for legal service providers around representation of unaccompanied children. Continue in person pro bono trips to IJP and ProBAR in and formalize an annual training for interested volunteers. Continue to expand the Commissions pro bono and pro se responses, resources, and support for immigrant communities and providers. Actively engage with the executive and legislative branches regarding immigration policy priorities.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4cSecond, informed by that local work and by our position within a large professional association, the Center collaborates with other national organizations to provide influential guidance on legal programs and policy reforms that affect child and family well-being on a national level. Finally, the Center serves as a centralized resource for the childrens law field by building professional networks, convening meetings and conferences, developing practice standards, analyzing case law and legislation, and creating training materials for attorneys, judges and advocates throughout the country. Each of these project areas is funded externally through federal, state, and private philanthropic grants. We have a portfolio of 20 to 25 active grants at any given time, amounting to a total of about 5.7 million in domestic grant revenue per year. Some examples of the Centers work include Court Projects. The Center improves court systems serving children and families in the child welfare system by consulting with State Court Improvement Programs, collaborating with national judicial organizations, and working with state and local courts. The largest program within this project area is the Capacity Building Center for Courts CBCC, which is a partnership of the ABA Center on Children and the Law, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, and the National Association of Counsel for Children. The CBCC team seeks to improve child safety, permanency, and well-being outcomes for families by ensuring courts work in partnership with child welfare agencies to best serve children and families in all fifty states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands. Permanency Barriers. The ABA Permanency Barriers Project has one overarching goal to reduce unnecessary time children spend in foster care before achieving permanency. To date, the ABA Permanency Barriers Project has served 57 counties in four states and has successfully reduced the time children spend in foster care by an average of nine months, realizing a positive impact on more than 3,000 childrens cases, and saving counties and states more than 35 million in foster care costs. State courts and child welfare agencies fund this project. Education Projects. In collaboration with the Education Law Center and the Juvenile Law Center, the ABA formed the Legal Center for Foster Care and Education in 2007 to provide national advocacy on policy matters affecting the education of children in foster care. Staff from the ABA have led efforts in jurisdictions across the U.S. to convene child welfare agencies, local school district leadership and judges together to plan for and implement supports that allow children in foster care to maintain access to the same school despite changes in home placement. The Legal Centers work helped pass critical federal legislation in 2015 requiring state child welfare agencies and school systems to work together to keep children in foster care in the same school when home placements change. Since that law passed, we have been working closely with states across the country to implement the federal law. Kin and Relative Caregiver Projects. In partnership with the Childrens Defense Fund and Generations United, the Center manages several projects related to kinship care, including Grandfamilies and the Legal Impact Network for Kin LINK. Grandfamilies provides legal resources for kin who care for children within and outside the child welfare system, and to professionals who serve kin as attorneys and policy advocates. We also work directly with state and local organizations to provide assistance on legal analysis of state kinship laws and policies, including compliance with federal laws such as the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008. LINK is a network of attorneys who represent kin in legal proceedings and support a kin first approach to child placement decisions, ensuring that when children cannot live with their parents they live with or remain closely connected to other relatives and family. This project area is funded through several distinct private philanthropic partners.
