Effective March 2, 2015: On a three-month pilot basis, universal filing is now available for civil cases in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda.

The Alameda County Bar Association is committed to helping create and nurture diversity in the legal community. On Tuesday, January 13, 2015, the Board of Directors voted to sign the Pledge for Change created by the American Bar Association's Commission on Disability Rights.

Are you or someone you know looking to gain experience in the legal field?

The ACBA and the VLSC are excited to announce that the Bay Area Regional Incubator Project has been chosen by the California Commission on Access to Justice to receive a $45,000 grant to promote increased access to legal services for low- and moderate-income individuals.

Help recognize the hard work and dedication of our volunteers by nominating them for our two annual awards: Volunteer of the Year and Mentor of the Year.
