The Justice And Diversity Center Of The Bar Association Of San Francis

Cooperative restraining order clinic (croc): is a san francisco-based legal services agency that upholds the legal rights and dignity of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking survivors. Committed to empowerment, croc works to protect the rights and safety of survivors and their children through effective legal assistance, institutional training, and policy advocacy.

Immigrant legal defense programs (ildp): ildp provides direct and volunteer legal services to immigrants and their families vulnerable to deportation. Jdc acts as the legal lead for the san francisco immigrant legal defense collaborative (sfildc). Through the collaborative, jdc helps coordinate the representation of over 1,400 individuals across the collaborative's 15 partner organizations. Ildp also houses the attorney of the day program (aod) for the san francisco immigration court. When acting as attorney of the day, jdc attorneys, along with our panel of over 100 volunteer attorneys, provide limited scope representation at the immigration court for individuals who appear at their hearing without representation. In 2020, ildp launched its attorney of the day hotline, providing remote legal consultations and wrap around services to any unrepresented individual appearing before the san francisco immigration court. As a result of these services, immigrants, their families, advocates, and other stakeholders have access to the legal resources they need to prevent immigrant detentions and deportations.

Diversity educational programs: diversity in the legal profession is an integral part of our mission. Our education programs help students succeed and explore their interest in a career in the law. From high school to law school, our programs break down barriers, build confidence, and shows that the legal profession is for everyone. The programs transform student's lives through mentoring by our volunteers and the generous support from our legal community that make field trips, prep courses, and a career in law possible.
