In an attempt to inform law firms, corporate legal departments, government entities, judicial chambers, and other organizations, MCCA and the Muslim Bar Association of New York are trying to spread information about the Muslim holiday.

Muslims who observe Ramadan fast from dawn to dusk and abstain from eating and drinking, among other things. Typically, Muslim legal professionals will strive to perform their prayers at five prescribed times during the day and will break their fast and have something to eat at sunset. Such observances rarely take more than five to ten minutes but they can occur during business hours. That said, Muslims across America have been fulfilling their Ramadan obligations for years and rarely has it disrupted their professional responsibilities.

While each person's needs are unique, such accommodations are often as simple as briefly excusing a colleague from a meeting so that he or she may break their fast or offer prayers. In additon, the end of Ramadan is marked by the joyous holiday of Eid ul Fitr, and many Muslim lawyers may seek to take the day off to attend services and spend the day in celebration with family and friends.
