The Cuban American Bar Association, commonly known as CABA, was founded in 1974 in Miami, Florida. The association’s members include a wide variety of individuals such as judges, lawyers, and law students of Cuban, Cuban-American and non-Cuban descent who are interested in the legal issues that affect the Cuban community and other countries of Latin America.
The CABA Pro Bono Project is charged with assisting the poor and indigent community in Florida’s Miami-Dade county by serving as a nexus and providing a referral source between needy clients and pro bono attorneys who can provide direct legal services to them.
