Corporate counsel sections of State Bar Associations are a great place to network. Nearly half of the State Bar Associations in the United States have corporate counsel sections that focus on in-house/corporate legal department issues. They are also a good place to hear about corporate counsel jobs. We’ve compiled the list below to help get you started – where a State does not have a dedicated corporate counsel section we provided a link to the most relevant section (e.g., business law). Don’t forget to check the Association of Corporate Counsel which may have a chapter in your area. If you are a member of a State Bar Association corporate counsel section, we’d love to publicize your activities, so if you have articles, publications, news feeds or other online resources, please let us know.
