Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area – Second Chance Legal Clinic

The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (“Lawyers’ Committee”), founded in 1968, works to advance, protect and promote the legal rights of communities of color, and low-income persons, immigrants, and refugees. Assisted by hundreds of pro bono attorneys, LCCR provides free legal assistance and representation to individuals on civil legal matters through direct services, impact litigation, and policy advocacy.

The Lawyers’ Committee’s Second Chance Legal Clinic assists clients who are working to overcome barriers to employment and housing due to past arrests and convictions. Our services are limited to addressing legal issues that directly result from a prior arrest or conviction. For questions outside of this area of expertise, we provide referrals.

The Second Chance Legal Clinic is held in partnership with Mo’MAGIC, a community umbrella organization in the Fillmore, on the last Tuesday of each month at 6pm. Clients should call our hotline to sign up.
