Korean-American Bar Association of Georgia (KABA-GA)

The Korean-American Bar Association of Georgia (KABA-GA) was founded in Aug. 2012 by a dedicated group of lawyers with the purpose of elevating the visibility of Korean-American attorneys and law students within the Georgia legal community and to advance our professional development through mentorship programs, training, and community involvement. As of 2020, we have 198 members consisting of elected officials, judges, partners and associates, in-house attorneys, non-profit attorneys, law students, and solo/small firm practitioners. KABA-GA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, operates thanks to contributions from volunteer Committees, and is funded largely by membership dues and sponsorships. KABA-GA is a welcoming group and endeavors to be the friendliest bar association in Georgia. We are a professional association open to lawyers and law students of all backgrounds who share our goal of connecting, serving, and having fun. Each year, we host 5 to 10 events, usually consisting of social gatherings, professional panels, community seminars, and community service events. Individual committees also host committee-specific events throughout the year. KABA-GA also maintains language and other legal resources, the most comprehensive database of Korean lawyers in Georgia, and information on other Georgia bar associations and KABA chapters. We are an affiliate of the International Association of Korean Lawyers (IAKL), a worldwide network of lawyers and legal professionals of Korean descent. KABA-GA proudly hosted the IAKL conference in September 2018 in Atlanta, GA, which brought together over 400 lawyers from 4 continents and a dozen countries.
