State Bar sections

The State Bar offers its members the opportunity to network with other lawyers who share a common interest through its 26 sections. Section membership includes access to newsletters, email lists to facilitate information sharing, and other resources. Join a section.

Section Leaders Council

The Section Leaders Council (SLC) is comprised of representatives from each of the Bar's 26 sections. It facilitates effective education and support of individual bar members through active participation in Bar governance. SLC has three subcommittees to that end: Communications, Convention CLE, and Public Affairs. For more information about SLC or specific sections, contact Salud Garcia at the State Bar.
