In partnership with the American Bar Association Journal, ABA ROLI and its Chair, Judge M. Margaret McKeown, launched a new column titled “ABA Abroad.” The column will spotlight ABA ROLI’s historical contributions to rule of law development, as well as the organization’s current programs in nearly 50 countries around the world.
As the inaugural author of the column, McKeown stated: “Rule of law work is often characterized as both “seed planting”—preventative, long-term institution building—and “fire brigade”—jumping in to meet emergencies. ABA ROLI has been “planting seeds” for nearly 30 years and in over 100 countries by partnering with colleagues in the legal community, including lawyers, judges, ministries of justice, prosecutors and defense counsel, activists and legislators, teachers and citizens. ABA ROLI works with our partners to strengthen laws and legal institutions and expand access to justice. We are in it for the long view. We don’t just plant the seeds, we nurture them.”
