The State Bar Act establishes the State Bar of California (State Bar) as a public corporation and assigns to the State Bar various duties with respect to the licensing and regulations of attorneys in the state.
This bill would require the State Bar to create a working group to examine the results of community justice worker models in other states and jurisdictions and to examine the impact of community justice worker models in providing legal services to, among others, people who otherwise would not have received legal services. The bill would also require the State Bar to submit, as specified, a report with findings and recommendations before January 1, 2029.
