The Business Law Section (“BLS”) serves its members and the public through its substantive Standing Committees (the “Committees”).

Membership on a Committee affords unique opportunities to participate in the creation of law in your practice area, to get to know and be known by other practitioners, to work with the recognized leaders in your field and to stay on the cutting edge of developments and practice techniques. It is a rewarding experience that keeps one ahead of and in touch with business law developments. Beyond a willingness to contribute, there are few eligibility requirements. All members of the BLS who have been in practice at least five years are eligible to be appointed to a Committee, and the requirement of five years of practice may be waived for members of the Editorial Board. The BLS strives to include members from solo and small practices as well as larger firms, geographical areas outside California’s major urban centers, women and members of ethnic and racial minority groups and other under-represented categories of the BLS’s diverse membership base.

The Queer Nonprofit Legal Referral Panel (QNLRP) is a joint project of TurnOut and BALIF. QNLRP seeks volunteer legal professionals to provide pro bono legal support to California LGBTQI-focused nonprofits and events. This is a great way to use your transactional legal skills and give back to the community!

The 2021 Diversity Conference aims to deepen awareness and engagement around equity and inclusion efforts, both in the legal industry and society. Panel discussions will explore allyship, and how to actively utilize privilege to create a culture of inclusion within law firms and organizations- including how to move beyond performative diversity. We will also focus on today’s most pressing social justice topics. This year’s full day conference will include multiple thought-provoking panels on these topics, a fireside chat with prominent guest speakers and a reception to follow.
