	American Bar Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Bar Association (ABA) is a voluntary bar association of lawyers which is not specific to any jurisdiction in the United States.
		The ABA's most important non-controversial activities are the setting of academic standards for law schools, and the formulation of model legal codes, of which the most important is a code of ethical standards for lawyers.
		For decades, the ABA has participated in the federal judicial nomination process by vetting nominees and giving them a rating ranging from "not qualified" to "well qualified." The process has been accused by some, including the Federalist Society, of having a liberal bias.

		It has been criticized for perceived elitism and an over-representation of white male corporate defense lawyers in its makeup; African-American lawyers formed the National Bar Association after the ABA decided that it would not allow them to be members.
		In recent years, the ABA has also drawn some criticism, mainly from the conservative side of the political spectrum, for taking positions on controversial public policy topics such as abortion (Termination of pregnancy), capital punishment (Putting a condemned person to death) and gun control (Efforts to regulate or control sales of guns).
		The ABA's official position favoring abortion rights led to the formation of a (much smaller) alternative organization for lawyers, the National Lawyers Association (additional info and facts about National Lawyers Association).

	Comments of American Bar Association on S7-45-02
		The ABA is concerned that adequate time has not been allowed to comment upon the proposed rules relating to noisy withdrawal and disaffirmation of documents and to extending to attorneys a negligence standard for determining improper professional conduct that are not specifically mandated by Section 307 of the Act.
		Thus, although the ABA has developed the Model Rules for use by the states, the actual professional rules governing lawyers are adopted and administered by or under the direction of the highest court in each state and in the federal courts.
		The ABA agrees with the Commission's general approach to dealing with "evidence of material violation" as comprised of three elements: (i) the attorney's knowledge of information, (ii) the standard for evaluating the attorney's determination regarding a material violation and (iii) the standard to be applied to the existence of a material violation.
