Founded in the mid-1980s, the Korean American Bar Association of Northern California represents a thriving community of legal professionals committed to mutual support and professional excellence in Cupertino and throughout the Bay Area. KABANC was established with a clear mission: to encourage and promote the professional growth of Korean-American attorneys and law students while fostering meaningful networking and the exchange of ideas among its members and the broader Bay Area community. What distinguishes KABANC is its deep commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive environment where Korean-American legal professionals can thrive and contribute to their communities. The organization brings together attorneys from diverse practice settings—including major law firms, corporate in-house counsel positions, government agencies, and public interest organizations—united by shared heritage and professional values. Beyond individual member support, KABANC actively invests in the legal community through its foundation, which engages law students, provides scholarship opportunities, and supports pro bono initiatives that address community needs. The association's extensive committee structure reflects its commitment to addressing the multifaceted interests of its membership, from mentorship and judicial advocacy to women's advancement and public interest service. KABANC's regular events and gatherings create spaces where members can build lasting professional relationships while celebrating their shared identity. For Korean-American legal professionals in the Cupertino region and Northern California seeking community, mentorship, and meaningful connections with peers who understand both the legal profession and the Korean-American experience, KABANC provides an invaluable network of support and opportunity.
