    For decades, ABA Day has brought together legal professionals from across the country to advocate for critical issues affecting the legal profession and access to justice. In 2025, we are expanding this tradition to ensure that every lawyer—whether in Washington, online, or at home—can play an active role in shaping the future of the law.

    This year, ABA Day 2025 will include three components:

    ABA Day in Washington (April 8–10): The traditional cornerstone of our advocacy efforts, where ABA members meet face-to-face with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to discuss key legislative issues.

    ABA Day Online (April 9): A live-streamed, interactive event featuring policy discussions, training sessions, and real-time advocacy opportunities, allowing participants from across the country to engage with Congress digitally.

    ABA Day at Home (April 11–27): An in-district advocacy effort empowering ABA members to meet with their elected officials in their home districts, ensuring that our voices are heard at the local level.

    As technology continues to shape the legal profession, it’s also transforming how we advocate. While the tradition of in-person meetings on Capitol Hill remains essential and continues to be the most effective way to move the needle on issues in Congress, we recognize that not every lawyer can travel to Washington, D.C. That’s why we are making ABA Day Online and ABA Day at Home a central part of our 2025 efforts. Click here to register today.

    ABA Day Online: Advocacy at your fingertips

    For those unable to attend in person, ABA Day Online provides a powerful opportunity to participate. This two-hour live broadcast on April 9 will feature:

    • Messages from key members of Congress leading legislative efforts on our advocacy issues.

    • Keynote speakers and panels on major legislative issues impacting the legal profession.

    • Live training sessions to help advocates learn how to effectively engage with their representatives.

    • Real-time advocacy opportunities using ABA’s digital tools to contact Congress instantly.

    • Breakout sessions hosted by ABA Sections, Divisions, and Forums, providing targeted advocacy discussions on critical legal topics.

    With the ability to watch from anywhere, participants can take immediate action while engaging with fellow advocates nationwide.

    ABA Day At Home: Bringing advocacy to your community

    Following ABA Day in Washington, we’re taking advocacy directly to lawmakers’ home districts. From April 11–27, ABA members are encouraged to meet with their representatives and senators in their local offices. These meetings will mirror those held in Washington but will focus on building long-term relationships with congressional staff and officials.

    To assist with in-district meetings, ABA will provide:

    • One-pagers and talking points on key advocacy issues.

    • Guidance on scheduling and conducting meetings with congressional offices.

    • Opportunities to invite lawmakers to visit legal aid organizations and pro bono clinics.

    Why your participation matters

    The legal profession plays a unique role in protecting democracy and ensuring equal access to justice. Through ABA Day 2025, we have an opportunity to unite as one voice—whether in-person, online, or at home—to advocate for policies that strengthen the profession and benefit the public.

    This year’s key issues include:

    • Access to legal services and disaster aid funding for LSC

    • Judicial security and the JUDGES Act

    • Tax fairness for law firms and professional service businesses

    • Defending Public Service Loan Forgiveness

    By participating in ABA Day 2025, you are making an impact, regardless of where you are.

    How can you get involved?

    • Register for ABA Day to participate and learn more.

    • Plan an in-district meeting with your lawmakers between April 11–27.

    • Spread the word—encourage your colleagues to get involved and share ABA Day resources on social media.

    Join us and make your voice heard. Advocacy is stronger when we stand together.
