LSFN Public Interest Law
Bar Fellowship
Supporting Tomorrow's Lawyers Today
The LSFN Public Interest Law Bar Fellowship was designed in the midst of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic to address the needs of Bay Area Legal Services Organizations by connecting them to recent graduates of Bay Area Law Schools who are faced with a delay in their ability to take the California Bar Exam.
