CLA has three initiatives called Access to Justice; Civics Engagement and Outreach; and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Access to Justice includes supporting legislation to increase Civil Gideon funding and other legal services to low-income Californians; Civics Engagement and Outreach prioritizes civic awareness, such as the centennial celebration of the 19th Amendment. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion focuses on several goals, including encouraging young people from under-represented backgrounds to pursue careers in the law and supporting law students and recent law school graduates in succeeding in their chosen profession. Other advocacy positions have included remote work and court depositions amid the COVD-19 pandemic, racial justice issues after the killing of George Floyd, and the California Consumer Privacy Act.
