Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Our work is underpinned by our core principles, and is implemented in collaboration with host country partners, including judges, lawyers, bar associations, law schools, court administrators, legislatures, ministries of justice, human rights organizations and civil society members. ABA ROLI has roughly 700 professional staff working in the United States and abroad, including a cadre of short and long term expatriate volunteers who, since the programs inception, have contributed more than 200 million in pro bono legal technical assistance. In Africa, ABA ROLI has been active in combating sexual and gender-based violence, pre-trial detention and modern-day slavery, as well as training judges and other court personnel, and building the capacity of local civil society organizations to advocate for citizens rights.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a In Asia, ABA ROLI has assisted in the modernization of courts, combating trafficking in persons, criminal law reform, anti corruption efforts, and human rights protections. In Europe and Eurasia, ABA ROLIs activities have included promoting the rights of vulnerable populations, including LGBT, Roma, and domestic violence survivors, supporting the implementation of criminal law reforms, promoting access to justice, improving legal and civic education, supporting the development of a robust and responsive civil society, and advancing the professionalism of the judiciary and the bar. In Latin America and the Caribbean, ABA ROLI has been focusing on assisting local partners in their transitions to modern criminal justice systems, including through training of judges, attorneys, police, and law professors and students. ABA ROLI has also focused on building a culture of lawfulness and promoting reform of legal education and the legal profession. In the Middle East, ABA ROLI focuses on judicial and legal profession reform, legal education reform and civic education, promoting womens rights and combating corruption. More information about the ABA Rule of Law Initiatives work is available at www.abarol.org.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Centers Grandfamilies Project has produced several publications collaboratively with other national organizations including Making it Work Using the Guardianship Assistance Program GAP to Close the Permanency Gap for Children in Foster Care and Improving Foster Care Licensing Standards around the United States Using Research Findings to Effect Change, as well as continuously updating resources and legislation on the Grandfamilies State Law and Policy Resource Center Website, www.grandfamilies.org . The Grandfamilies staff have conducted several trainings and provided technical assistance to assist many states with improving kinship policy and implementing the Kin Guardianship Assistance Program, and it will continue to do so in 2014.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Center staff who worked on its Opening Doors for LGBTQ Youth in Foster Care Project have conducted training to improve outcomes and well-being for LGBTQ youth in foster care in several jurisdictions, including 250 judges, lawyers, social workers, health, mental health and child welfare professionals in DuPage County, IL 600 judges, lawyers, and social workers in Jefferson City, MO and 200 judges, lawyers and child welfare professionals at the Oklahoma Childrens Court Summit. Opening Doors staff is scheduled to do similar training and technical assistance in IL and FL in 2014.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Centers Child and Adolescent Health Law Program, in collaboration with its Closed Circuit Television Child Witness Recording Project, developed a series of articles for the ABA Child Law Practice on working with child victims of abuse and neglect who have disabilities. In addition, the project provided training to over 500 attorneys and other advocates on Psychotropic Medication and Children in Foster Care through four state-based VT, CO, VA, and DC and one national DC training. The project also presented a webinar on the Health of Children in Foster Care jointly with the National Institute for Health Care Management that addressed trends in the health of children in foster care, including their unmet needs and disproportionate cost to the Medicaid program, a successful state and private sector partnership to improve services for the foster care population through Medicaid managed care, and laws that promote the health of children and youth who are in or aging out of foster care, including the Affordable Care Act.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Centers Polyvictimization and Trauma-Informed Legal Advocacy project presented trainings attended by over 300 attorneys, advocates, and other professionals for the National Court Appointed Special Advocates Association in Anaheim, CA the Child and Youth Law Forum in Rocky Hill, CT and the Equal Justice Conference in St. Louis, MO. The project also delivered a full day training on polyvictimization and trauma as a preconference to the Centers 15th ABA National Conference on Children and the Law.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Centers project on Improving Legal Representation for Parents Involved in the Child Welfare Court System hosted its Third National Conference for Parents Attorneys. The conference attracted nearly 300 attorneys from around the country who were fully engaged in learning from speakers and other conference participants about how they could provide high quality representation for their clients. The Project continued its work in Mississippi where there is no right to counsel for parents in these civil child protection cases. The Project assisted Mississippi in starting four pilot sites to provide attorneys for parents. In continuing its work with the Federal Region VI Court Improvement Directors Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, project staff created the Indicators of Success Instrument to assist states in evaluating efforts to provide quality representation for parents. These states will be using the Indicators during 2014 and they will be distributed to other states by the end of 2014. The Project also organized its second Regional Leadership Forum focused on parent representation in Region IV Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky. The Project is now providing ongoing support to Region IV and Region VI states as they implement action plans developed at the regional meetings. The Project hopes to replicate this model in other regions.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Bar Youth Empowerment Project has a new director who joined the Center in June, and served most recently as a juvenile court magistrate in Texas for 12 years. This project has focused much of its work on the development of initiatives in Kansas and New Jersey to improve attendance and participation of foster children and youth in their dependency court hearings. Each state chose three counties for its pilot protocol. The project, with additional help from the Centers Resource Center project, trained stakeholders and youth in Kansas, and we will conduct training in New Jersey in February 2014. Each state will complete the collection of data on attendance and participation in mid to late 2014, with the intention of then implementing the child-participation in court protocol statewide. Thus far, each state believes that the data will show that improved youth engagement in court leads to greater well-being on the part of these youth, improved decision-making by the Court, and a faster track to foster child permanency in these cases.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Centers Legal Center for Foster Care and Education has had a busy and productive year, and continues to serve as the central clearinghouse of information on foster care and education. In this capacity, it releases bi-monthly Question and Answer Factsheets, including a widely-circulated one on the new amendment to the federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act FERPA which allows for easier access to school records by child welfare agencies. The Legal Center for Foster Care and Education, in collaboration with the State Policy and Action Resource Center SPARC, authored an issue brief on the new federal Uninterrupted Scholars law and led a series of three webinars on this with a total of 750 attendees.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Legal Center also provides training and technical assistance around the country, in collaboration with the National Resource Center on Legal and Judicial Issues. Specifically, the Legal Center works closely with Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. Finally, the Legal Center facilitates a National Working Group on Foster Care and Education, a collaboration of 25 national organizations dedicated to improving education outcomes for children in foster care, and the Education Advisory Board, a group of 15 educational organizations that support this mission.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Centers ongoing Pennsylvania Permanency Barriers Project, which started in NY in 1989, reduces foster care stays and saves money in state and county funding. In 50 counties covering four states, this project has reduced the time 2500 children spent in foster care by an average of 11 months and has saved 25 million dollars in foster care costs. In the last year, the project has expanded to include providing targeted technical assistance in several PA counties. A significant focus of this has been helping the state implement concurrent planning across the state. The project will be assisting the state in implementing its new child abuse statutes by providing targeted training for child welfare attorneys.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b The Centers flagship training program, Trial Skills for Child Welfare Attorneys, provides a full day hands on live event with a mixture of lecture, demonstration and role playing, allowing child welfare attorneys the opportunity to practice their trial skills. In July the Center trained 30 attorneys at the Centers 15th National Conference. As a result of this training, the Center has been approached to provide this training in three states Arkansas, Virginia and South Carolina.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c CLEO also offers programs for secondary school, college, and law students. The Lawyers and Leaders In Training LLIT program is designed to inform low-income and ethnically diverse secondary school students about the many professional opportunities available to members of the legal profession and motivate them to pursue a legal career. This program is conducted in partnership with other national organizations such as the National Association of Women Judges, which coordinates the Color of Justice Program COJ in Alaska Just the Beginning Foundation JTBF, which sponsors law camps around the country for high school students and the Marshall Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d FJE conducts several other programs including an accreditation program. The Council and the Accreditation Committee of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar are recognized by the US Department of Education DOE as the national accrediting agency for programs that lead to the first professional degree in law. The law school accreditation process protects clients, the public and the courts by ensuring a sound legal education that prepares law students for admission to the Bar.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The FJE is a fund of the American Bar Association ABA. The Board and Officers of the FJE are the Board and Officers of the ABA and its membership is the same as that of the ABA. The ABA House of Delegates elects the Board of Governors, the Officers, and the Chair of the House. The House is designed to be the representative of the legal profession in the U.S. Members of the Association who register for the annual meeting elect six delegates-at-large. ABA members of each state elect state delegates ABA members who belong to state and qualifying local bar associations also elect delegates, the number being dependent upon the number of ABA members and lawyers in the respective state of the local association. Association members of ABA sections, divisions and judicial conferences elect section division delegates.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Each section has a minimum of two delegates, with additional delegates dependent upon the number of members in each section. The US Virgin Islands Bar Association elects a delegate, and the Bar Associations of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands share one elected rotating delegate. State, local and territorial bar associations elect delegates according to their own rules. Affiliated legal organizations, a certain percentage of whose membership must be members of the ABA, also elect delegates to the House according to their own rules. Former ABA Presidents and Chairs of the House are lifetime delegates Former ABA Secretaries and Treasurers serve as delegates for three to five years following their term of office.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The ABA House of Delegates also includes the Attorney General of the United States and the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts or their designees. Current ABA Officers and current members of the Board of Governors also are delegates. Currently, the delegates in the House number 548. For purposes of election of the Board, the House is grouped into eighteen geographical districts. Governors serve staggered three year terms the House elects approximately one-third of the Board and the President-Elect at each annual meeting. The Board of Governors consists of one member from each of the 18 geographical districts, six section members-at-large, one judicial member-at-large, two young lawyer members-at-large, two women members-at-large, two minority members-at-large and one non-voting law student member-at-large.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The President, Chair of the House, President-Elect, Immediate Past President, Secretary and Treasurer of the ABA are ex-officio members of the Board of Governors, and every third year the Treasurer-Elect and Secretary-Elect also are included in the Board of Governors. The House elects the Chair of the House for a two-year term in even-numbered years every third year the House elects a Treasurer and Secretary a year in advance for three year terms.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Prior to filing the return with the IRS, it is reviewed by the organizations management and subject to review by the Audit Committee. The final Form 990 is shared on a secure website with all members of the Board prior to filing the return with the IRS, sufficiently in advance of the due date to allow Board members the opportunity to raise questions or concerns, if any.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12-14 Given the relationship between the ABA and FJE, the ABAs Conflict of Interest, Whistleblower and Document Retention policies apply to FJE and FJE employees.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Each Board member received the Conflict of Interest COI questionnaire this year. All responses were reviewed by the Accounting team at the ABA. If a Board member discloses a conflict, the Board member must recuse themselves from any matter involving the disclosed conflict, and the recusal is noted in the minutes. Additionally, staff assigned to the Board of Governors distribute COI forms to Board members prior to each Board meeting and collect the completed COI forms.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a The top management position of the FJE is the Executive Director of the ABA. FJE relies on the Compensation Committee of the ABA Board of Governors to review compensation information of comparable entities and the performance of the top management position and make a recommendation to the full ABA Board of Governors. The ABA Board must approve the final compensation. This process occurs every year and was last performed in calendar year 2014.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b FJE relies on the Compensation Committee of the ABA Board to review compensation information of comparable entities and performance of the officer and key employees. When other officer and key employee positions become vacant, the compensation is reviewed by the Associations Executive Director and Human Resources department based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. The ABA Board must approve the final compensation of the Executive Director of the ABA. This process occurs every year and was last performed in calendar year 2014. The Association President and the President Elect receive 100,000 and 50,000 respectively in compensation for their positions.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 The FJE Constitution Bylaws, business conduct standards, and the audited financial statements are available upon request or on the ABA website www.abanet.org.
Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1A All interested persons listed on Part VII of the return devote time to the American Bar Association, a related tax-exempt entity.
Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1 Though this return is reporting on fiscal year August 31, 2014 activities, the compensation reported in Part VII is based on the Forms W-2 filed with the IRS for calendar year 2013.
