South Asian Bar Association of Washington

About South Asian Bar Association of Washington

Based in Redmond, Washington, the South Asian Bar Association of Washington represents a dedicated community of legal professionals united by their heritage and commitment to service. SABAW functions as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that goes beyond traditional bar association activities to create meaningful connections between South Asian lawyers, law students, and the communities they serve.

At its core, SABAW is built on the principle that legal professionals have a responsibility to give back to their communities. The organization brings together South Asian attorneys who share a passion for addressing legal issues affecting the South Asian community while advancing broader social, economic, and political interests. This community-centered approach distinguishes SABAW as more than just a networking organization—it's a platform for collective impact.

The membership of SABAW spans across Washington State and includes both experienced attorneys and aspiring law students eager to make a difference. Members receive regular updates through newsletters, gain access to exclusive job boards, and participate in mentorship relationships that foster professional growth and personal connection. The organization maintains affordability and accessibility, with nominal annual membership fees ensuring that lawyers at all career stages can participate.

Through legal clinics, scholarships, and fellowship programs, SABAW demonstrates its commitment to expanding opportunities for underrepresented voices in the legal profession. As an active branch of the North American South Asian Bar Association, SABAW contributes to a nationwide movement of South Asian legal professionals working to bridge communities and strengthen the legal system's responsiveness to diverse populations. The organization continues to expand its reach and impact through the dedicated efforts of its board and membership.
