Answer preview
The ABA has developed a clear guideline on their needs starting from the most pressing issues and challenges. The ABA has nine criteria to decide whether an issue is a priority or not. The criteria include breadth and strength of ABA interest; importance to the practice of law; public perception of the profession (American Bar Association, n.d). They also check the timeliness of the issues, the potential of achievement, the impact, the urgency of administering justice and the lawyers’ expertise involved in the issue. These form a threshold and order for how challenges are prioritized.
