Every year, we endorse candidates for D.C. Bar office who we believe will share our commitment to pro bono service and public-interest law. We endorse candidates for President-Elect, Treasurer-Elect, Board of Governors, ABA House of Delegates, and House of Delegates Under 36.

The endorsements are determined by our Board of Directors and are based on the candidates’ resumes and answers to a questionnaire, jointly prepared by our D.C. Bar Affairs Committee. For the office of President-Elect, we also hold a question-and-answer session with the candidates.
