Despite the staggering unmet civil legal needs of low-income Californians, highlighted by the State Bar of California's 2019 Justice Gap Study, the launch of the California Pro Bono Portal in 2024 offers a transformative, community-driven platform to connect volunteer attorneys with vetted legal services organizations.
