The Bar Association of San Francisco's (BASF) Destination Law School (DLS) program provides information and resources about law school and the legal profession to diverse undergraduate students in colleges located in the Bay Area. The purpose of this program is to increase the number of diverse graduates that are going into law school. Through partnerships with Bay Area colleges and law schools the goal of DLS is to help students better realize a career in the legal profession.

More information on volunteer opportunities and sponsorship opportunities for DLS is also available.
How Does it Work?The program provides the information and resources in a hands-on and practical manner through presentations on college campuses and workshops at BASF. College Dialogue Sessions: BASF is working with pre-law and student advisors; college professors; career counselors and minority student group leaders to arrange presentations on Bay Area campuses. These groups are collaborating with BASF to provide insight into the DLS program by identifying specific topics of interest to college students that will help draw students into the program. BASF Workshops: In addition, BASF produces a series of workshops at BASF, located in San Francisco's financial district. Download the schedule of our 2012-2013 workshops (159KB DLS Pre-Law Tool Kit:
