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.
2024 Stakeholder Briefing
The 2024 cohort of Fellows completed their Fellowship in December 2024, collectively contributing more than 9,000 hours of legal services for communities in the Bay Area.
In February 2025, the LSFN hosted a virtual Stakeholder Briefing to disseminate key insights from the Fellowship's forth year and allow Fellows to share their experiences.
