The Alameda County Bar Association (ACBA) is proud to join the American Bar Association (ABA) and bar organizations across the country in reaffirming our commitment to the rule of law. As legal professionals, we recognize that the rule of law is the foundation of a just and democratic society—it ensures fairness, protects individual rights, and holds those in power accountable.

In today’s complex and often polarized landscape, upholding these principles is more important than ever. The ABA’s statement serves as a reminder that bar associations and attorneys play a critical role in defending democratic institutions, promoting access to justice, and ensuring that legal protections apply equally to all.

As an organization dedicated to serving the legal community and the public in Alameda County, the ACBA remains steadfast in our mission to support justice, equity, and the integrity of the legal system. We encourage our members to read the full statement and join us in this commitment.
