to provide a comprehensive legal education program to South
Asian community leaders about their basic legal rights in the
areas of employment, discrimination, consumer protection, elder
care, family law, immigration, health, disability and criminal
law. SABA GB is proud to recognize the current class participants
and demonstrate the significance of developing strong relations
with our South Asian community through legal education.
