San Diego is the proud home to the nation’s largest concentration of military personnel and service members have unique and often complex legal issues. The SCRA is a federal law that provides protections to individuals in the military and impacts a broad array of situations from payment of rent, mortgages and loans, to child custody matters.

Since 2009, the SDCBA's LRIS has hosted a Pro Bono Program that assists active-duty military service members in obtaining stays in their cases while they are serving our country. Our volunteers are appointed to represent the service members in civil, family, and unlawful detainer cases. We welcome all types of lawyers, and no experience is necessary.
