About us
The Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law (The Center) was founded in the early 1980s by Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Bar and Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. Since its inception, the Center has served as a cornerstone of family law and domestic violence assistance for low-income persons in California. MISSION We protect victims of domestic violence and improve the well-being of children living in poverty. With the help of volunteers, the Center provides free family law assistance and legal education to the poor. We strive to empower people in need and assure them meaningful access to the courts. CENTURY CAMPAIGN "Immediate Effect. Last Impact. You Can Make A Difference." To help secure our future, the Harriett Buhai Center has established a new annual giving program, the Century Campaign, which replaces our special event fundraising. Through this annual giving program we have reduced time and expense spent on entertainment galas, and re-directed these valuable resources to our clients and programs. You are invited to join in the effort. You hold the keys to our success and can make a difference every day in the lives of domestic violence victims and poor children. To make a gift or pledge, please contact: (213)388-7505 ext. 317 or century@hbcfl.org. Or visit our website to donate online. The Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Tax Identification Number 95-3943493.

The Buhai Center applauds the Los Angeles Superior Court for issuing a General Order today that will permit jurists to issue orders allowing the electronic recording of family court and other proceedings when a court reporter is not available and the proceeding involves fundamental or liberty rights. Although we would always prefer to have a court reporter, from January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, over 525,000 L.A. County court proceedings lacked a verbatim record due to a court reporter shortage, affecting due process for litigants in critical cases like child custody and domestic violence restraining orders. This crisis has disproportionately impacted low-income litigants, especially those who are self-represented. Today’s General Order will improve access to justice for our clients and others in the family law courts. #CourtReporterCrisis #LASuperiorCourt #LegalAid #LosAngeles #FamilyLaw
