Legal Aid Society of San Diego (LASSD) | New Attorney Pipeline

In their own words

LASSD is a nonprofit poverty law firm that provides free legal services to lower income San Diego residents relating to healthcare, housing, public benefits, child custody, immigration, and consumer protection. The firm is funded by government sources (City, County, State and Federal), as well as endowments and charities. LASSD operates the Consumer Center for Health Education and Advocacy (CCHEA). It is a stand-alone project that specializes in health law, health care access, and education. LASSD runs clinics at local courts in eviction, conservatorship, restraining orders, federal tax debts, civil appeals, debt collection defense and Medi-Cal/CalFresh/CalWorks hearings. Founded in 1919 through the trust of Dewitt C. Mitchell and incorporated as the Legal Aid Society of San Diego in 1953.

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.
