COVID-19 Notice

Effective June 15, the State Bar’s offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles resumed full operations to the public with appropriate precautions in place. 

The Telephone Resource Center is open, but on reduced staffing, so we encourage use of the email addresses listed below for inquiries. Hours of operations for the call center are: 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily, except for Wednesdays, 8:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Admissions applicants, please check the Admissions page for any updates regarding the First-Year Law Students' Exam and October Bar Exam.

The use of our online self-service tools, such as the Applicant Portal for admissions applicants, and My State Bar Profile for licensees, will also save time on routine transactions.

Please see this page for other COVID-19-related notices.
