Jenner & Block has been named by The Recorder as a 2026 California Legal Awards finalist in the Community Advocacy and Impact Initiative category, which recognizes firms whose legal work drives measurable changes beyond the courtroom in cutting-edge community advocacy.
With offices in Century City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, Jenner & Block's community advocacy work in California spans foster care, free speech, child welfare, immigration, education, criminal justice, and environmental compliance.
This includes securing compensation for a member of the Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria wrongfully denied Extended Foster Care benefits—prompting a statewide policy change protecting Native foster youth— winning a court ruling striking down Huntington Beach's library censorship policy as a violation of California's Freedom to Read Act, and children's immigration defense work recognized by Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) 2025 Pro Bono Advocate of the Year Award.
