Section Purpose

The Sections of the Sacramento County Bar Association are devoted to substantive areas of law or the special interest of a defined subgroup of members. Sections are responsible for:

1. Sponsoring continuing legal education events in their area of practice or special interest.
2. Providing opportunities for attorneys who share a practice area or special interest to meet and interact through meetings, programs, social events, luncheons, brown bag discussions and other means.
3. Responding to requests for comment or cooperation from judicial departments dedicated to their substantive practice area and giving notice to their membership of local rule changes impacting their practice area.
4. Serving in an advisory capacity should matters come before the Bar Council which require the special knowledge and expertise of Section members or which will potentially impact the practice of law within that area.
5. Reviewing statutes relative to this area of practice and drafting or recommending SCBA positions or resolutions for consideration at the State Bar Conference of Delegates.
