Bar Association of San Francisco

BASF's Barristers Club, the division serving attorneys with under ten years of experience, has its own board of directors.

[4] In 2008 BASF organized a Marriage Fairness Task Force to respond to what it believes are the attempts being made to attack the Supreme Court and to rewrite the California constitution and deny Californians the marriage rights currently protected by the constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court.

[5][6] BASF founded the Volunteer Legal Services Program (VLSP) (now the Justice & Diversity Center [7]) in 1977.

It began as a small pro bono project, but is now one of the largest nonprofit providers of free legal and social services to low income individuals and families.

The most common legal issues addressed at HAP are federal disability benefits advocacy, eviction defense and immigration documentation.
