ABA Statement on Policing The American Bar Association stands for equal justice and has long worked to eliminate bias in our justice system. We always must encourage innovative and proactive approaches that promote justice for all. To help accomplish this, the ABA, in collaboration with 52 founding ABA-accredited law schools, recently launched the ABA Legal Education Police Practices Consortium.
