The Asian Pacific American Bar Association of South Florida (APABA) is a non-profit, voluntary bar organization of Asian Pacific American attorneys in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. The organization is dedicated to ensuring that the Asian Pacific American community is effectively represented in South Florida.

As an affiliate of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA), APABA’s goals and objectives coincide with those of NAPABA, including working towards civil rights reform, combating anti-immigrant agendas and hate crimes, increasing diversity in federal, state, and local government, and promoting professional development.The overriding mission of APABA is to combat discrimination against all minorities and to promote diversity in the legal profession.

APABA was formed in 2003 over concerns about the lack of any organization in South Florida dedicated to the legal interests of the Asian Pacific American community.

Since its humble beginnings, APABA has grown steadily every year and now boasts an increasing membership of highly talented lawyers, jurists, and affiliated law students. Members range from solo practitioners, attorneys at large, multi-national law firms, government attorneys, law professors, and corporate in-house counsel.
