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.
The 2022 cohort of Fellows completed their Fellowship in December 2022, collectively contributing more than 14,500 hours of legal services for communities in the Bay Area.
In January 2023, the LSFN hosted a virtual Stakeholder Briefing to disseminate key insights from the Fellowship's third year and allow Fellows to share their experiences.
To learn more, you can watch the Stakeholder Briefing or view the presentation, via the links below:
