The California Lawyers Association (CLA) was established in 2018 as a member-driven, mission-focused organization dedicated to the professional advancement of attorneys practicing in the state of California.

A bar association organized as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit membership organization, CLA delivers high-quality programs, events, and resources to our members, the legal community, and the public. We are continuously seeking new ways to expand our offerings. Through premier educational and networking opportunities, our members—who represent the vibrant diversity of California’s legal community—can maintain and build expertise in their fields, develop professional contacts, and defend the profession and the rule of law.
