Assembly Caucuses
Caucuses provide a forum for like-minded law students to connect, promote awareness of specific issues to law students across the country, and explore legislative options within the ABA.
Members of the caucuses use ABA Communities to collaborate, an online platform where members can network, exchange ideas, get advice and discuss information with each other.

About ABA Communities
The ABA has officially launched our new member communication platform, ABA Communities. This new platform is designed to make it easier to collaborate within committees, discuss important topics with other members, and conduct the business of the ABA.
What can I do on the new ABA Communities site?
ABA Communities was selected for its ease of use and the ability for you to:
- Join committees and groups of interest to you
- Update your profile and the information that others see about you
- Participate in discussions within groups
- Access important files made available by staff liaisons
- RSVP for group events and seamlessly add them to your calendar
- Keep current with groups activities by receiving a daily digest of activity
How do I get started?
To get started, we recommend the following to have seamless experience:
