Every year, CCBA’s officers, board members, and delegates spend a day in Sacramento moving the CCBA legislative agenda forward: finding out what’s going on in the Capitol, letting our representatives know what’s important to us, and reminding them that CCBA is California’s most active and effective sponsor of efforts to improve our laws.

This year’s Legislative Day is Monday, April 4, 2016. The complete schedule is available here 2016 Legislative Day Agenda. We hope you will be part of this very important event, including:

-Welcome meeting at the Third District Court of Appeal, located at the Stanley Mosk Library and Courts Building, Room 500, 914 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA 95814.   We will have the opportunity during the day to participate in a guided tour of the building.

-A full day of meetings with Legislators – We’ll start meeting at 9:00 a.m. for a “State of Legislation” discussion from the perspective of the judiciary followed by meetings with legislators.  Meeting in Room 500 listed above.

-1.0 hours of CLE – At Noon, we will have an informative CLE session on the “State of the State Bar” where we will be updated on proposed changes to the State Bar.   The program costs $15, and includes a box lunch.

-A fun and relaxing reception – At the end of the day, we’ll be hosting a reception at Chops near the Capitol building. The reception is free for the delegates who participated in Legislative Day, but if you can’t make the full day, you can join us for the reception at a cost of $20.
