FAQs
How long does my membership last?
SCBA has annual and a lifetime membership. The annual memberships are calendar year from January to December. The lifetime membership is in perpetuity. Renewals open in October and close in February.
What are ways for me to get involved in the legal community?
We encourage all members to choose at least two sections to gain access to networking and events according to your areas of practice. In addition, we recommend joining a committee, becoming a member-at-large on the Board of Directors, volunteering for Kids Law Day or participating as a panelist.
Do you need to be a member to attend events?
No, but you receive discounted registration to events by being a member.
How many events are offered throughout the year?
All sections are required to offer a MCLE lunch program twice a year. Most sections host something on a monthly basis. The SCBA hosts 5 to 6 events annually including Bench Bar and its Annual Meeting at the end of the year.
Do you offer discounted memberships to veterans or active military?
Yes. The SCBA proudly supports our veterans and military members. Veterans are eligible for a 10% discount on all memberships and event tickets.
I am a law student. Can I be a member?
Yes! Law students who are enrolled in law school can join the SCBA for FREE. For events, we often have donated or discounted registrations for students so they can begin to network with the Sacramento legal community. Inquire with our membership team at admin@sacbar.org for more information.
