Wecome to the City, County & Local Government Law Section of The Florida Bar.
The mission of the City, County & Local Government Law Section of the Florida Bar is, "To generally serve as an organization and resource within The Florida Bar for lawyers representing local government interests and also practicing in this field on behalf of private interests." The section pursues this mission by providing quality CLE and other programs for our members with an interest in city, county and local government law in Florida. We also seek to promote professionalism and collegiality among lawyers who practice in the area of local government law not only through education but also through social opportunities and networking. In addition the Section publishes a quarterly newsletter "The Agenda " and regularly submits articles relating to the practice of local government law in the Florida Bar Journal.
The Section's website offers us an exciting opportunity to enhance our efforts to serve Section
members and to facilitate and encourage Section involvement by a broader and more diverse body of
individuals from different locales and practice areas. Please take a moment to see what the Section,
and our website, have to offer. Then let me know how we can expand and improve the website or any other
Section programs or activities, to better serve as a valuable resource for you.
