CSHA Special Membership Categories
CSHA is pleased to offer the following special membership categories. Each comes with full membership benefits at a substantial discount!
Government Attorneys
In an effort to encourage more government attorneys to join CSHA, the CSHA Board of Directors approved a Government Attorneys Initiative Program. Most federal, state, county, and other local government attorneys are eligible for membership with dues of $50/year (a $275+ discount). CSHA may also provide a subsidy up to the maximum amount permitted by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) to be applied toward the tuition for attending one of our seminars (Fall or Spring).
To qualify for the Government Attorneys Initiative Program, your government employment information must be current and listed on the State Bar of California’s website. Recipients of the dues discount and/or tuition subsidy are responsible for their own reporting obligations.
