DescThe ABA Center on Children and the Laws mission is to promote access to justice for children and families. Our staff of 15 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. Second, informed by that local work and by our position within a 400,000 member 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.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4bGuided by resolutions adopted by the ABA House of Delegates, the Commission advocates for pertinent statutory and regulatory modifications in law and governmental practices, works to coordinate and strengthen the ABAs response to developments in immigration laws and policies, develops and assists the operation of programs that promote high quality, effective legal representation for individuals in immigration proceedings, advocates for regulations that strengthen detention standards, and supports comprehensive immigration reform that addresses the need for an effective and humane immigration strategy. The Commissions work focuses on safeguarding due process, promoting alternatives to detention, and improving access to qualified legal representation and information for individuals in immigration proceedings, including particularly vulnerable individuals such as unaccompanied immigrant children and the mentally disabled. The work of the Commission falls within the following five categories 1 Direct Legal Services - The Commission directs three off site legal projects and operates a national detainee hotline. 2 Promoting Compliance with Detention Standards - The Commission works to implement its Civil Immigration Detention Standards, manages the Detention Standards Implementation Initiative, and files detainee complaints of detention standards violations with appropriate federal agencies. 3 Education and Outreach - The Commission organizes programs, coordinates CLE trainings, and produces legal materials to equip attorneys and accredited representatives to empower immigrants and asylum seekers by ensuring due process in the immigration system. 4 Legislative and Administrative Reform and Advocacy - The Commission advocates for legislative and regulatory improvements that promote just immigration laws and a fair process for all immigrants and asylum seekers. 5 Key Initiatives - The Commission engages in other key initiatives to address fairness in the immigration system, focusing on vulnerable immigrant populations. These initiatives include the Fight Notario Fraud project, the Mental Health Task Force, and the filing of amicus briefs. The Commission operates two pro bono projects outside of Washington, D.C., the South Texas Pro Bono Asylum Representation Project ProBAR in Harlingen, Texas, and the Immigration Justice Project IJP in San Diego, California. These projects provide legal rights education, pro se assistance, and direct legal representation. Project staff recruit, train, and mentor pro bono attorneys to represent indigent, noncitizen adults and children placed in removal proceedings. In April 2019 we created a Pro Bono Program through funding from the American Bar Endowment. This program is designed to increase pro bono participation for the Commissions offsite projects in Harlingen, Houston, and San Diego. The Commission also manages the Childrens Immigration Law Academy CILA in Houston, Texas. CILA is a legal resource center that serves legal service providers and pro bono attorneys representing children in immigration related proceedings in Texas and beyond. The Commission is one of the only national organizations that both accepts free calls from individuals in detention facilities nationwide and provides informational materials on a wide range of topics at no cost. The Commissions Washington, D.C. office assists thousands of noncitizens in detention and their families each year, who obtain legal referrals and related information by calling the detainee hotline or writing letters to the Commission. These activities support the Commissions effort to educate detainees about their rights and responsibilities under our nations immigration laws.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4cFinally, 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 20-25 active grants at any given time, amounting to a total of about 3.5 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 Center for State Courts. 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
Form 990, Part III, Line 4dFJE 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 VI, Section B, Line 12cEach Board member received the Conflict of Interest COI questionnaire this year. Prior to each Board meeting, staff assigned to the Board of Governors distribute COI forms to Board members and collect the completed COI forms.

The ABA has participated in the Quatt Professional Association Compensation Survey for at least the past five years, which provides compensation data regarding comparable entities. The Survey results are shared with ABA HR and available to the Executive Committee as well. The President and President-elect undertake a contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision after consultation with the rest of the Executive Committee.
