Patricia Lee
For the last 15 years Patricia Lee has driven the diversity efforts of the State Bar of California. Her career is a perfect example of what it means to serve others through law – she started as a VISTA attorney, was the founding Director of Santa Clara County’s Office of Women’s Advocacy, managed the San Francisco Neighborhood Legal Assistance Foundation, and was the Executive Director and Chief Administrative Officer for the Legal Aid Society of Santa Clara County, among many other public interest positions. Pat supported the inclusion of Fastcase in California law academies and community college pathways that teach legal research skills for students interested in pursuing a legal career. She also chairs the Advisory Council on Diversity that includes all American Bar Association (ABA) entities that have a diversity committee, as well as all the national ethnic bars, LGBT, and women’s bars. Retired from the State Bar of California as of March, she continues to consult with the bar.
