Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law | New Attorney Pipeline

In their own words

The Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law (the Center) was founded in the early 1980s by the Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Bar, and the Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. Since its inception, the Center has served as a cornerstone of family law and domestic violence assistance for low-income persons in California. The Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law protects victims of domestic violence and improves the well-being of children living in poverty. With the help of volunteers, the Center provides free family law assistance and legal education to the poor. The Center strives to empower people in need and assure them meaningful access to the courts; it aspires to create a community where poverty is not a barrier to those who seek to resolve critical family law matters.

The fellowship record

Fellowship record 2015 to 2026

No published placement

LAAC has named every Dan Bradley Fellow since 2015 and every Public Interest Bar Fellow for 2026, and none of them were placed here. That is not a refusal: most California legal aid organizations have never been asked, and an organization that has never hosted a fellow can still be the first to hire you.

This organization has not published whether it hires before the bar. Nothing on this page is inferred, so those questions stay open rather than being answered with a guess.

If you work here, you can fill this in, including whether you hire law graduates before they are licensed, which is the question this whole site exists to answer.
