The California Lawyers Foundation (CLF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving access to justice and increasing diversity in the legal profession. We invest in programs and partnerships that educate and inspire the next generation of legal professionals and the communities they serve.

Guiding Our Purpose

Our Core Mission

The California Lawyers Foundation is committed to promoting excellence, diversity, and inclusion in the legal profession and fairness in the administration of justice and the rule of law.

How We Started

Building a Foundation for Change

The California Lawyers Foundation (CLF) was formed in 2019 as the charitable partner of the California Lawyers Association (CLA), California’s voluntary statewide bar. We were created with the specific goal of establishing a separate, nonprofit entity to conduct charitable programs and activities. While a new organization, we immediately began developing and supporting projects that improve access to justice, increase diversity in the legal profession, and educate Californians about the role of lawyers and the rule of law.

This structure allows us to partner directly with individuals and organizations to implement a wide range of initiatives—from continuing legal education and youth programs to pro bono projects—all aimed at fostering a legal system that is more efficient and equitable for everyone.
