For more than a decade, we've proudly produced visuals for the Asian American Bar Association of New York (AABANY) Trial Reenactments, presented each year at the National Convention of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association. The scripts for each of the nine reenactments to date are made available here. Each case marks a different chapter in Asian American history, and each case had a significant impact on law and society – touching on themes such as race, discrimination, loyalty, human and civil rights, and the struggle for justice against bigotry, government persecution, and public opposition.

We invite you to relive and to learn about parts of American history that have too often been overlooked, ignored, or forgotten. NAPABA - National Asian Pacific American Bar Association Fred T.
