上次寫了：律師的任務(A Lawyer's aim)

在這個禮物裡面，其實有張很珍貴的郵票，

是『美國律師公會（American Bar Association , ABA）』的郵票圖案。

（『ABA』或翻譯為：『美國律師協會』；『美國法曹協會』）

（註：American Bar Association其實有學者認為不宜翻譯成『美國律師公會』）

（主要是其組成之成員，仍少部份包含『法官、檢察官、學者教授或實務工作者等等』）

（但兔寶寶律師從慣例，還是將『ABA』譯稱為『美國律師公會』。）

這張ABA的郵票，感覺上非常莊嚴，

圖片中若仔細看，可以看到：

『天使的左手拿著天秤』，

『天使前方的人，則抱著一把寶劍』。

『圖案左邊，貓頭鷹應該是代表睿智及思索』，

『圖案右邊，鏡子則代表客觀的映照』，

『最下方則是：1878．LIBERTY UNDER LAW．1953』

Liberty Under Law：法治之自由。（法治下之自由）

美國律師公會，係創立於西元1878年8月21日。

（The American Bar Association (ABA), founded August 21, 1878）

結語：

兔寶寶律師很喜歡以下這段話，所以拿來當結語。

Liberty Under Law,（According to the ABA）,

It "provides law school accreditation, continuing legal education, information about the law, programs to assist lawyers and judges in their work, and initiatives to improve the legal system for the public.

The Mission of the American Bar Association is to be the national representative of the legal profession, serving the public and the profession by promoting justice, professional excellence and respect for the law."
