The California Lawyers Association (CLA) is a statewide, voluntary bar association for California legal professionals, headquartered in Sacramento.
CLA was established in 2018, as result of Senate Bill 36.,[1] which separated the voluntary educational, associational and advocacy activities for lawyers in the state of California from the regulation of the legal profession, resulting in the formation of CLA as an independent nonprofit organization. (Licensure, regulation and protection of the public remained housed with the State Bar of California.)
