Welcome to the City, County & Local Government Law Section of the Florida Bar.

As a member of the Section, you will join a group of lawyers who practice local government law in many and varied aspects, both in private practice and as in-house counsel to cities, counties, school boards, and special districts throughout the state. The Section serves its members by providing high quality CLE programs targeted to various areas of local government law practice. We also publish “The Agenda” (a quarterly newsletter), submit articles regularly to the Florida Bar Journal, and sponsor the annual Local Government Law Symposium issue of the Stetson Law Review.

The website and member listserv allow us to quickly provide our members with new information. The Section also serves future local government lawyers through our law school student grant program, summer internship program, and our newly formed Law School Liaison subcommittee.

But the most valuable resource of section membership is the members themselves. We gladly help each other with the vast myriad of issues a local government lawyer may encounter.

Please take a look around the website. I invite you to become involved with the Section through our committees or CLE programs. Feel free to contact me with any suggestions to improve the website or any other Section activities.
