The Lawyers' Club of San Francisco focuses on the growth and well-being of the attorney as an individual by providing a social and professional identity for all attorneys in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In 1946, three San Francisco attorneys-Al Spivak, Gerald D. Marcus, and Burton J. Goldstein-had a problem. They all believed that the existing county bar association overlooked the needs of attorneys in small firms and of solo practitioners. Resolving to address these concerns, they formed a new bar association. They called it The Lawyers' Club of San Francisco.
The Lawyers' Club has since developed innovative programs and events. For example, annually the Club hosts its unique California State Supreme Court Luncheon. This tradition began in 1948 when the Club's Board of Governors threw a party to "roast" some friends on the bench. The Lawyers' Club has also developed continuing legal education programs, legislative forums, and a variety of other "networking" opportunities.
