The mission of the American Bar Foundation is to serve advocacy, the public, and academia through empirical research, publications, and programs that promote justice and understanding of the law and its impact on society. Founded in 1878, the ABA`s mission is to support the legal profession with practical resources for lawyers while improving the administration of justice, law school accreditation, the establishment of model ethical codes, and more.

where governments and institutions are accountable even to the weakest among us; where those most in need of legal services receive the highest quality support to improve their lives; where justice and equity for all, including the poor, are the norm, not only in our courts, but in all communities; and where communities thrive on democratic principles. Micronesia is a region with thousands of small islands in the Western Pacific Ocean. It includes three U.S. territories: Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Wake Island. (Wake Island has a population of 150 and is operated by the U.S. Air Force.) This website follows the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) in treating Micronesia as a geographical area. The ABF is the largest grantee in the National Science Foundation`s (NSF) Law and Social Sciences program, where the ABF has an 85% success rate in applications compared to an overall success rate of 21% in the social sciences and economics. ABF is a thought leader and source of research that shapes policy. The Fish and Wildlife Service listed all 23 species in 2015.

But the agency has failed to identify critical habitat for them, as required by the Endangered Species Act. Today`s agreement resolves a lawsuit filed by the center in 2021, when habitat protection was more than five years overdue. Unique species, including tiny sac-winged bats, bright orange and yellow tree snails, and beautiful eight-pointed butterflies, are also endangered due to small population sizes, invasive species, and limited range. Some species in Guam and other islands north of the Mariana Islands are under severe threat from military expansion associated with the relocation of 5,000 U.S. Marines from Okinawa. “With everything that`s happening with military build-up, we run the risk of losing important parts of our culture. We are the people of the land and when our native plants and animals thrive, we thrive,” said Frances Meno, a local Yo`åmte or traditional healer. “Without them, there is no future. “Without critical habitat designations, native species such as the eight-pointed Mariana butterfly, which is unique to the Mariana Islands, would be lost, and with them irrecoverable aspects of our native ecosystem and culture,” said lawyer Julian Aguon of Blue Ocean Law. “As Indigenous peoples, we stand up for our loved ones other than humans.” “I`m relieved that these 23 beautiful Pacific Island species, found nowhere else on Earth, are finally getting critical habitat protection,” said Maxx Phillips, Hawaii`s director and attorney for the center. “This is a great victory, because endangered and threatened species whose critical habitat is protected by the state are twice as likely to recover as those that do not. Protecting the places these unique plants and animals need to survive is critical to our fight against the extinction crisis.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) is the national association of more than 13,000 lawyers and law professors who practice and teach immigration law.

The American Legion is a non-partisan, non-profit organization with great political influence, supported by its grassroots involvement in the legislative process, from local districts to the Capitol. The Legionnaires` sense of commitment to community, state, and nation leads to an honest plea for veterans in Washington. The Legion supports the issues that matter most to Canada`s Veteran community, supported by resolutions passed by volunteer leaders. Politically, the rest of Micronesia is divided into 5 sovereign countries – including the Federated States of Micronesia, usually referred to as “Micronesia” for short, although it is important not to confuse the country with the global region that surrounds it, as well as the islands belonging to five other sovereign countries. In addition to the country of Micronesia, the region of Micronesia includes 4 other sovereign and independent nations: Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru and Palau, as well as the three US territories. LSC provides funding to the Micronesia region, which is further subdivided into: Northern Mariana Islands (a U.S.

territory), Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau.
