The LSFN Public Interest Law
Bar Fellowship has Transitioned to LAAC
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. In 2026, the LSFN Fellowship was transitioned to Legal Aid Association of California.
The LSFN is excited to see where the great people at LAAC will take the now "Public Interest Bar Fellowship Program" in the coming years.
To learn about the Fellowship in 2026, please visit LAAC's website via the link below. You can also contact LAAC at Fellowships@LAAConline.org
2025 Stakeholder Briefing
The 2025 cohort of Fellows completed their Fellowship in December 2025, collectively contributing more than 6,000 hours of legal services for communities in the Bay Area.
In February 2026, the LSFN hosted a virtual Stakeholder Briefing to disseminate key insights from the Fellowship's sixth year and allow Fellows to share their experiences.
