Organizations That Hire Before the Bar

Every organization on this list has hosted a Public Interest Bar Fellow, which means it has taken someone who had not passed the bar yet and can be asked about it by name.

What these 58 organizations say they work on

Bar length is relative to the largest subject, 10 organizations; the hairline marks half. Subjects come from each organization's own published description; an organization that has not described its work is in none of these. Each subject links to every organization in the directory that names it, which is a wider list than this one. These are the directory's own subject tags; the matching page sorts the same organizations into LAAC's eight named fellowship subjects, which is a shorter list of broader names.
