Barristers' Club
Mission Statement
The Barristers' Club provides new lawyers with:
-
learning opportunities;
-
networking opportunities;
-
public service opportunities; and
-
entertainment.
Membership
Any person who is a member of the Sacramento County Bar Association is
automatically a Barrister if they are (a) under 36 years of age; or (b) has
been in practice five years or less; whichever is later.
Calendar of Events
The Barristers' Club is planning several exciting new events for this summer
and fall, and welcoming new members and ideas is crucial to continuing the
mission of both the Barristers' Club and the Sacramento County Bar Association:
to help you!
You may not know that you already are a Barrister. If you are a SCBA member and
have been practicing for 5 years or less, or are age 36 or less, you are the
reason why the Barristers' Club is here! Also remember that Sacramento County
Bar Association membership is only $35 during your first year of practice.
Everyone who has ever become involved with the Barristers' Club was a new
attorney, so please don't be shy about contacting us. We look forward to
meeting you and we welcome your ideas.
Lastly, feel free to join us at our monthly meetings. In addition to meeting
the 12 Barristers' Board members, you can join a sub-committee and become more
involved with us. Board members are elected each December, and you may decide
that you would like to run for one at the end of this year. If so, start now
— it is never too early to network!
Yearly Event — Winter
Bridging the Gap from Law School to Law Practice
In this seminar, we invite practioners and judges from the community to provide
new attorneys with insight into areas of practice and the ethics of the
profession. The following is a sampling of the topics covered: civil practice,
alternative legal careers, governmental practice and transactional practice.
Typically, 3+ hours of MCLE credits are available for this event free of
charge.
The Thursday prior to the seminar (held on a Saturday in January), we invite
new admittees to the Bar to a reception at a local watering hole where the new
admittees can mingle with experienced practioners and local judges — from
the federal court, state court and State Courts of Appeal.
Yearly Event — Spring
Federal Nuts & Bolts Seminar
Both federal and bankruptcy rules and procedures will be covered in this
tremendously helpful seminar with an emphasis on providing attendees with an
understanding of how federal court differs from state court and what attorneys
need to know about the procedures and customs of the Eastern District. It will
be held at the new federal courthouse, and written materials, as well as
bagels, coffee and juice will be provided.
California Supreme Court Reception
Every year, the Barristers' Club organizes a luncheon where local attorneys,
law firms and judges welcome members of the California Supreme Court. The event
features an address by the Chief Justice as well as a speech by a keynote
speaker. The event also provides attendees the opportunity to meet and talk
with members of the California Supreme Court.
Yearly Event — Summer
Summer Associates Reception
This yearly gathering is held in honor of the Minority Fellowship program in
which area firms welcome law students to clerk with them and thereby receive
their first real world introduction to the practice of law. Experienced
attorneys, judges, and government officials join together to welcome younger
counsel into the practice of law.
Yearly Event — Fall
Law & Motion and Appellate Practice Seminars
Both the Law & Motion and Appellate Practice seminars are annual events that
draw both new attorneys and experienced practitioners. The hour or two you
spend attending these seminars may be more valuable than many hours spent on
your own. This is because civil litigation experts give you advice that they
accumulated throughout their careers on what to do, and what not to do, in the
civil litigation and appellate arenas.
Yearly Events — All Year Long
Lunch Seminars
Every other month, the Barristers' Club sponsors lunch programs on various
topics. In the past, these have included topics such as mediation, trial
techniques and deposition strategies. These luncheons are a great way to get to
know your fellow Barristers and obtain MCLE credits.
Social Events
The Barristers' hosts social events several times throughout the year at a
local watering hole.
Look for announcements of these events, and all Barristers' activities, in the
DateBook section of the Daily Recorder, (the back page). Also look for our
monthly Barristers' Bulletin in the Daily Recorder, which appears the last
Tuesday of every month.
