You’ve reached The Bail Clinic at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area. Unfortunately, the Bail Clinic is no longer operating.  

In the five years that we ran the Bail Clinic, it eliminated over $500,000 of bail bonds debt and recovered tens of thousands of dollars of refunds for clients. It shined a light on the abusive ways that bail bonds companies treat their customers. 

Through litigation, legislation, and regulation, we improved conditions for bail bonds consumers. And yet, no amount of reforms can fix the industry. People will not be fully protected until we eliminate the for-profit bail bond industry and end harmful pre-trial detention. Nothing less will address the injustices that attend to bail bonds.
