Pakistani Community Events in Mesa, AZ

The South Asian Bar Association of Arizona (SABA-AZ) represents a vibrant community of American attorneys of South Asian origin committed to protecting legal and constitutional rights while fostering meaningful professional connections in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded as part of a broader movement to address challenges facing the South Asian community, SABA-AZ operates as a chapter of the North American South Asian Bar Association (NASABA), which unites over 6,000 attorneys and law students across North America in advancing shared values and community interests. SABA-AZ's mission reflects the lived experiences of its members—many of whom are foreign-born American citizens or permanent residents bringing unique perspectives to the legal profession. The organization emerged in response to post-9/11 backlash against immigrants and continues its vigilant work protecting the rights and dignity of South Asian Americans. Beyond advocacy, SABA-AZ creates a welcoming professional home where members can build relationships, share experiences, and support one another's career growth. The association recognizes that many of its members practice immigration law, serving their own communities while contributing to the broader legal landscape. By bringing together attorneys across various practice areas and career stages, SABA-AZ strengthens the collective voice of South Asian legal professionals in Arizona while honoring the contributions they make to public service, private practice, business, and academia.
