AMERICAN BAR FOUNDATION

The American Bar Foundation (ABF) is a research institute committed to the principle that a deep understanding of the law is vital to a more just, equitable world... The American Bar Foundation is a leading research institute. Our faculty produces interdisciplinary research to advance justice and the understanding of law... The ABF was founded in 1952 by the American Bar Association (ABA), filling the need for an independent center for interdisciplinary research into the law. With a generous gift from the American Bar Endowment (ABE), an ABA affiliate charity offering insurance products to ABA members, the ABF was built as "a research center for the organized bar of America."
