October 28-30, 2024 Milton Marks Conference, San Francisco, CA
Save the date for California's first statewide legal services conference in five years!
Pathways to Justice is a statewide conference convened every three years by the State Bar of California, the Legal Aid Association of California (LAAC), and the Judicial Council. Due to the pandemic, however, 2024 will be our first Pathways since 2019.
Pathways is California’s only statewide legal services conference to bring together nonprofit legal services providers, private bar pro bono volunteers, and staff from court departments and self-help centers. The conference will highlight a broad range of topics including best practices, legal trends and challenges, innovative projects, and substantive training on areas including housing, family law, domestic violence, and many others.
Pathways’ two days of substantive workshops are invaluable for professionals working toward a legal system that is more accessible and responsive to all Californians.
The next Pathways to Justice Conference will be held on October 29 and 30, with pre-conference sessions on October 28, 2024.
Registration information and complete conference schedule will be updated when available.
