EBGBA Mission and Access to Justice & Support

Mission: The Earl B. Gilliam Bar Association is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance the political, economic, educational, social, legislative and legal interests of the Black community in San Diego County. We are committed to defending the legal and human rights of all people, promoting the administration of justice, eradicating the root causes of racism, promoting the professional and personal interests of its individual members, and preserving high standards of integrity, honor, and courtesy in the legal profession.

Access to Justice & Support: The Earl B. Gilliam Bar Association is dedicated to helping the Black community access effective legal representation and advice. To that end, we sponsor events like our popular Neighborhood Law School. These courses are designed to give useful legal information on a variety of topics to the public, including employees, business owners, landlords, renters, or anyone who lives or works in San Diego.
