Chaldean-American Bar Association

The Chaldean-American Bar Association advocates for the legal interests of the Chaldean community, promotes professional development among its members, and fosters networking opportunities to enhance the representation of Chaldean attorneys in the legal field.

The Chaldean-American Bar Association (CABA) cordially invites members of the legal profession, law students, and their families to our revitalized annual Chaldean Mass for Lawyers. Join us as we gather at Mother of God Chaldean Catholic Church to seek God&rsquo;s guidance for the administration of justice and to invoke a blessing upon all those who work within the legal system. This tradition serves as a moment of reflection and spiritual renewal for our community of advocates and counselors. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a student just beginning your legal journey, your presence strengthens our professional and spiritual bond. Thank you for your continued support of the Chaldean-American Bar Association. We look forward to seeing you there!
