Don't Miss Out On The Many Benefits Of Corporate Counsel Section Membership


The Corporate Counsel Section of the State Bar is the only section of the State Bar that is specifically geared to the in-house practice of law, serving in-house counsel as well as the outside counsel who work with them.
 
Exciting things are happening in the Corporate Counsel Section in the 2023-2024 bar year! Join us to enjoy the many benefits of Section Membership. The cost for your Section membership ($30.00) is nominal, and is a great value considering the many benefits you will receive, including:
  1. The Corporate Counsel Power Hour CLE is a monthly CLE offered to the general public, but Section members get access to the materials and recording anytime, on-demand in the Section's Website Library.
  2. The Corporate Counsel Section's Newsletter, published several times a year via email to Members. Last year's newsletters provided our Section Members with over 50 articles on hot topics of interest to our Members.
  3. The Corporate Counsel Review, a law journal co-published twice a year by the Corporate Counsel Section and South Texas College of Law and provided for free to Section Members.
  4. The Corporate Counsel Newsstand, via Lexology, which publishes in excess of 450 articles every day from over 900 leading law firms and service providers worldwide across 50 work areas in 25 languages.  We've tailored the collection of daily articles to practice areas specifically relevant to in-house counsel.
  5. Registration discounts to the Section hosted and sponsored CLE events like SMU Corporate Counsel Symposium, TexasBarCLE In-House 101 and Advanced In-House Counsel Courses, etc.
  6. Opportunities to network with in-house and outside counsel at complimentary networking and CLE events at locations around the state - including many virtual opportunities.
  7. A great way to give back to the legal community and the public at large. Every year, the Corporate Counsel Section donates thousands of dollars in grants to pro bono organizations. Since 2009, the Section has donated over $800,000 to pro bono organizations throughout the state (none of which comes from member dues).
  8. Our new and improved Section website, with the new Members only Section containing searchable archives and more.
