Lawyers and other human rights defenders have been threatened, imprisoned, and even killed for their efforts to hold governments accountable and to realize the basic rights of their clients and communities. In Swaziland, attorney Thulani Rudolf Maseko was imprisoned in 2014 for publicly criticizing the lack of independence of the judiciary in Africa’s last absolute monarchy. The American Bar Association developed the Justice Defenders Program to provide pro bono legal assistance to lawyers and other human rights defenders, such as Mr. Maseko, facing retaliation for their work. A unit of the ABA Center for Human Rights, the Program mobilizes the global legal community to address critical rule of law issues and hold governments accountable for restricting human rights activities. After Mr. Maseko was charged with contempt of court for his editorial, he was remanded into custody and denied access to legal counsel. In a closed proceeding, he was sentenced to two years in prison. The ABA immediately issued a letter of concern over the violations of his rights to freedom of expression and a fair trial. The Program then recruited the global law firm Hogan Lovells to represent Mr. Maseko before the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which found that his detention was arbitrary and urged the Government of Swaziland to release him immediately. On June 30, 2015, the Swazi Supreme Court ordered his release from prison after conceding that they had no case against him. Over the last four years, the Justice Defenders Program has provided similar pro bono legal assistance and strategic support to hundreds of advocates, in 50 different countries. Today, through the efforts of the Justice Defenders Program, Mr. Maseko has returned to his family and practicing law. “The Justice Defenders Program has provided pro bono legal assistance worth $1.5 million to hundreds of advocates in 50 countries.” 2 “In 2015, nearly 40,000 unaccompanied children entered the United States, often fleeing the extreme violence of El Salvador, Honduras, or Guatemala.” WORKING GROUP ON UNACCOMPANIED MINOR IMMIGRANTS Recruiting Volunteers with a Purpose The legal community was outraged when an Executive Office for Immigration Review judge stated that children as young as 3-years-old could be taught immigration law and be able to represent themselves in court. The ABA responded by reaffirming its position that counsel – both pro bono and government-funded – should be provided to unaccompanied children to help navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration system. The American Bar Association has long worked to ensure access to counsel for asylum applicants and other detainees – and for good reason. When children and others are competently represented by counsel in adversarial proceedings, all parties benefit. Legal representation serves not only the clients, but also the efficiency of the courts, saving taxpayer dollars. Over the past few years, tens of thousands of unaccompanied children have entered the United States, often fleeing the extreme violence of El Salvador, Honduras, or Guatemala. In response, the ABA amplified its existing efforts by forming the Working Group on Unaccompanied Minor Immigrants. Composed of lawyers from more than a dozen ABA entities, the Working Group is recruiting, training, and mentoring lawyers to increase capacity and complement the efforts of existing legal services programs. To help attorneys respond to this humanitarian crisis, the Working Group established www.ambar.org/ican to enroll volunteer attorneys to represent unaccompanied children. Those who register are connected with a legal service provider in their area that matches the volunteer with a child in need of representation. If needed, the Working Group also finds the volunteer an experienced mentor to collaborate with on the case. Whatever their reason for coming to America, the ABA believes each child deserves due process in our nation of laws. Through its Working Group, nearly 250 pro bono attorneys have stepped forward to represent vulnerable children in immigration and state courts across the country. 3 STANDING COMMITTEE ON LEGAL AID AND INDIGENT DEFENSE The Slow Justice Movement Decades after Gideon v. Wainwright, “fast food” justice has taken root in jurisdictions across the nation. Despite the promise of counsel provided by the decision, generations of public defense attorneys have been socialized to churn out cases at a rapid pace, with little consideration for the client. Legal scholars and practitioners are now speaking out against the assembly line model of justice, as it violates attorneys’ ethical and constitutional duties. The Slow Justice Movement is a nationwide intentional shift toward ethical, quality representation. The ABA has long championed quality representation through its Criminal Justice Standards, which extensively detail defense counsel’s duties. But effective representation cannot be achieved when lawyers have too many cases. A recent ABA study of the Missouri Public Defender Office found that attorneys spent, on average, 2.3 hours on each misdemeanor, but should spend 11.7 hours in order to deliver reasonably effective assistance of counsel. Few of the tasks outlined in the Criminal Justice Standards— investigating the facts, researching the law, communicating with the client, negotiating with prosecutors, filing appropriate motions—could be completed in the time allotted, much less all of them. In February, the ABA gathered over 100 public defense leaders and scholars at its Annual Summit on Public Defense. A plenary session called “ethical blindness” addressed the tension between quantity and quality in public defenders’ offices, as well as attorneys’ failure to recognize cursory representation. It also discussed innovative ideas to ensure that their clients receive a fair trial, such as lowering caseloads through decriminalization and using the private bar as a release valve when caseloads are too high. The ABA is working toward a slower, constitutional and ethical approach to defense where quality precedes quantity. Your charitable support will help make these changes a reality. “Attorneys spent, on average, 2.3 hours on each misdemeanor, but should spend 11.7 hours in order to deliver reasonably effective assistance of counsel.” 4 “For the staggering 150 million children – ages 3 to 18 – living in homelessness around the world, sometimes the mechanism needed is a lawyer.” COMMISSION ON HOMELESSNESS & POVERTY International Summit on the Legal Needs of Street Youth The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child stresses the inherent liberties of all individuals, but rights are meaningless without the mechanism to enforce them. For the staggering 150 million children – ages 3 to 18 – living in homelessness around the world, sometimes the mechanism needed is a lawyer. Through global collaboration, and with the generous support of Baker & McKenzie, the ABA Commission on Homelessness & Poverty held the first International Summit on the Legal Needs of Street Youth in June 2015. Hosted by the London office, the firm facilitated virtual participation through its locations around the world. An impressive number of experts from nearly every continent and almost 40 nations gathered to discuss the legal rights of street youth and deliberate on what the rule of law can do to end homelessness among this vulnerable yet resilient population. Former homeless youth, like Angel Benedicto from Tanzania, spoke at the Summit. At the age of 16, Angel fled an arranged marriage and was forced to the streets to later become a child domestic worker. Tearfully, Angel described the grueling 17 hour days she was forced to bear. “No one has an interest in helping domestic workers,” she told the audience. “Nobody cares.” Charitable giving made the powerful dialogue between experts and survivors at the Summit possible. Domestically, the Commission gathered representatives from federal agencies and community organizations in January to further explore major themes that arose from the event. Internationally, street children from around the world are being encouraged to submit statements for consideration to the UN Committee on the Right of the Child’s General Comment on Children in Street Situations. Many of the Summit partners that continue to work closely with the ABA, like the Consortium for Street Children, will help these children get their voices heard. 5 INDIVIDUAL DONORS Thank You From the FJE The ABA Fund for Justice and Education would like to thank all of its 2014-2015 donors.

Founded in 1942, the ABE is a charitable organization dedicated to improving the quality of justice in the United States by funding research, educational and public service projects in the field of law. ABA members who participate in the Endowment’s group insurance programs can contribute to these efforts. Those members who allow the Endowment to retain dividends payable to the group insurance policies provide essential support for the ABE’s grant program. The ABA Fund for Justice and Education would like to thank all of those participants and the ABE for the valuable funding they have provided. 21 21 LEGAL OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP FUND Diversity in the Profession Racial and ethnic diversity in the legal profession simply will not happen without engaging members of diverse backgrounds early in their academic career. Financial aid during law school is a vital component of diversifying the legal profession. The American Bar Association responded to this need by creating the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund. Established in 1999 by former ABA President William G. Paul, the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund provides $15,000 in financial assistance to 20 diverse law students each year and helps encourage people from all segments of society to bring their perspectives and potential to the legal profession. Charitable giving helps ensure that attending law school is possible for the ABA’s outstanding Legal Opportunity Scholars. Since its inception, the ABA and its members have invested in the talents of 320 diverse students from across the country. Shape the Future of the Legal Profession Scholarship Naming Opportunity A naming opportunity is available for individuals and organizations contributing at increments of $15,000. Thank you to the following donors who are extending their legal legacy and inspiring change within the profession by having one scholarship named in their honor. John W. Daniels, Jr. Legal Opportunity Scholarship Sponsored by Quarles and Brady ABA Section of Business Law Legal Opportunity Scholarship ABA Section of Real Property, Probate and Trust Law For more information on how you and/or your company can participate in this naming opportunity, please contact Ceilanne Libber at (312) 988-5420. 22 Doan Nguyen Profile of a Scholar At four-years-old, Doan and her family fled the tyranny of their homeland on a small boat, floating 14 days on the Indian Ocean with no food or water. Doan lost all five of her siblings on the treacherous journey. After being granted asylum in the United States, Doan’s parents struggled to assimilate to life in America. Desperately poor, not knowing any English and without friends or relatives, her family scraped together a livelihood only to survive; affording law school was an impossibility. With financial assistance from the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund, Doan earned her law degree at the University of California, Berkeley. Today she pursues justice for other immigrants through the Legal Services Trust Fund Program of The State Bar of California. Generous donors bring other highly motivated diverse attorneys into the legal profession and your continued support will help empower the next generation of diverse lawyers. “To me, America was both a haven that rescued me from death and the home of ongoing injustice. My pursuit of a public interest law career stems directly from my personal struggles as a disadvantaged immigrant, and my ultimate ability to overcome these struggles.” — Doan Nguyen, ABA Legal Opportunity Scholar 23 JUSTICE FUNDS AND ENDOWMENTS Justice Funds are named endowment funds established to honor those lawyers whose careers have demonstrated dedication to the pursuit of justice and outstanding service to the profession and the public. Justice Funds, or other forms of endowments, provide the perfect opportunity to ensure a permanent source of revenue for an ABA entity’s public service work. A Justice Fund can be established with a commitment of $25,000 or more, and the investment income earned is applied to the charitable programs of the Association. If a Justice Fund reaches a threshold of $100,000 or more, the annual endowment income may be designated to support a specific charitable ABA activity. Justice Funds Joseph A. Ball Fund William H.

Brunswick In honor of its 75th Anniversary, the Section established the Tax Assistance Public Service (TAPS) endowment to help ensure that its members can meet the growing demand for legal representation of underserved taxpayers across the country now and in the future. With a goal of raising $5 million, the income earned from the endowment will support the Christine A. Brunswick Public Service Fellowship program, among other public service programs. Frank DiPietro is one of the 2015-2017 young tax attorneys funded by this two-year fellowship to provide tax-related legal assistance to the underserved. A recent graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School, Mr. DiPietro is working for the University of Minnesota Law School’s Ronald M. Mankoff Tax Clinic and the Center for New Americans, as well as providing support for Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid and the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans. 25 SOCIETY OF SARATOGA LEGACY FUND A Tradition of Public Service—A Legacy of Planned Giving From the first meeting in 1878 in Saratoga Springs, New York, the American Bar Association has been guided by a strong sense of public responsibility and professional pride.

Willard-Jones “I implore each of us to reflect on the role that our legal profession plays in advancing the administration of justice and what we are giving back personally for the betterment of the profession. ” — Tom Bolt Society of Saratoga Member 26 William Reece Smith, Jr. (1 925-2013) Legal Visionary Former ABA President William Reece Smith, Jr., was widely recognized for his commitment to justice and his passion for pro bono service was a notable legacy of his leadership term. Through a bequest of $25,000 directed to the ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service, Mr. Smith will continue to influence the delivery of legal services long after his passing. In May, three lawyers from across the country will attend the 2016 Equal Justice Conference in Chicago, Illinois, through the William Reece Smith, Jr, Award. Awardees, like Shawndrica N. Simmons from the Black Women Lawyers Association of Michigan, will receive a full conference waiver and expenses paid up to $1,500. The conference helps pro bono and civil legal aid attorneys maximize the pro bono delivery system. What Will Your Legacy Be?
