California Legal Aid Job Board – Nonprofit, Internship, and Legal Job Opportunities

LAAC’s Legal Aid Job Board connects you to nonprofit, internship, and legal job opportunities across California. Our job board is specifically tailored for lawyers, law students, legal assistants, nonprofit professionals, and passionate individuals seeking to make a positive impact. LAAC links you with job openings at our member programs, helping you uncover amazing opportunities to make a difference in the lives of low-income Californians.

Legal aid employers can post following the directions below, and anyone searching for open positions can use our search features.

If you are looking for broader public interest jobs, or opportunities outside of California, we recommend The Impact Fund job board, which includes a fantastic weekly bulletin.

We encourage employers to cast a wide net to ensure a diverse applicant pool. Check out some of our recommendations for outreach here.

Non-members:

Organizations that are not LAAC members may post jobs for $75 each or $250 for unlimited postings for a year. All postings must be related to public interest legal work. Requests from organizations that are not LAAC members will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Please contact us at JobBoard@LAACOnline.org with “Response Requested” in the subject line to arrange for payment and posting.

LAAC believes in salary transparency. LAAC will not post job opportunities that do not include a salary range. Not only is this California law for most employers beginning in 2023, but salary cloaking is also inequitable and leads to greater wage gaps based on gender and race.
