The Litigation/Court Cases (5.5 linear feet) series contains seven subseries: Sirhan Defense, Jabara vs. Manufacturer's Bank of Detroit, Jabara vs. Bank of the Commonwealth, Police Surveillance, Jabara vs. FBI, Abu Eain Defense and Miscellaneous Cases. The series consists primarily of court documents, correspondence, press clippings, testimonies, and surveillance files related to his legal cases from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s. It is arranged largely as it was received. Cases with only one folder have been placed in the miscellaneous subseries.

The Political and Cultural Activities (3.5 linear feet) series contains information about the Jabara's cultural and political activities interests. The series has been arranged alphabetically. Perhaps the most extensive portion of the series is the documentation of the 1977 National Lawyers Guild Middle East Delegation that traveled to Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the Occupied Territories in July 1977 to observe and report on the Palestine liberation movement, the state of opposition in Israel, and the condition and treatment of Palestinians living in Israeli Occupied Territories. Jabara was influential in arranging the trip and was also a member of the delegation. Included in this collection are several folders of correspondence, clippings that express the attitude towards the visit from the popular and legal press, and copies of the minority and majority reports compiled and published by the NLG.
