Committee on the Bill of Rights of the American Bar Association

American Bar Association

L'American Bar Association (Association américaine du barreau) est une association volontaire de membres du barreau américain, fondée le 21 août 1878. Depuis 1997, elle a adopté une position abolitionniste concernant la peine de mort, en partie à cause de l'absence d'aide juridictionnelle dans certains Etats, des conditions de possibilité d'appel en cas de condamnation, et du constat de la discrimination raciale via la surreprésentation des Afro-Américains parmi les condamnés à mort.
