The San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program is a nonprofit legal services organization based in San Diego, California, offering free legal assistance to low-income residents across San Diego County. It targets the most vulnerable populations, including the homeless, abused children, domestic violence victims, elder abuse victims, veterans, immigrants, and people living with HIV/AIDS, with women and children comprising more than three-quarters of its clients. The program works by connecting indigent and disadvantaged residents with volunteer lawyers and other donated resources to ensure access to justice. A notable service development in its history includes launching a COVID-19 Brief Legal Advice Clinic in 2020 to support small businesses and nonprofits during the pandemic. It has pursued partnerships to broaden its reach, including collaborations with Paladin to connect with pro bono attorneys since 2019.
