Over the course of a given year, ABA ROLI typically implements over 100 distinct programs, often more than one in a given country, most of which are concentrated in one or more of nine subject matter areas 1 Access to Justice 2 Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity 3 Criminal Justice and Transnational Organized Crime 4 Judicial System Strengthening 5 Legal Education 6 Legal Profession Development 7 Gender and Social Inclusion 8 Commercial Law and 9 Human Rights. As a matter of best practice, the mixture of subject matter areas involved in a particular country Continued on Schedule O

The Commission manages six core operational activities 1 Commission and Advisory Committee Membership, 2 Detention Hotline and Legal Orientation Program LOP Information Line, 3 direct legal services through the South Texas Pro Bono Asylum Representation Project ProBAR in Harlingen, Texas, 4 direct legal services through the Immigration Justice Project IJP in San Diego, California, 5 training and technical legal assistance through the Childrens Immigration Law Academy CILA in Houston, Texas and, 6 the Commissions national scope pro bono project.

  • The 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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
