Common questions

Do I need to be admitted in California? No. We have members admitted in 14 states. The CLE programming is California-accredited; we publish CLE-equivalency tables for the more common reciprocal jurisdictions.

Can I join mid-year? Yes — annual dues are pro-rated to whole quarters. Email us with your tier choice and start month.

How do I renew? We invoice in September annually. Member-only dashboard and an opt-in auto-renew via card-on-file are coming in Q3 2026.

Can my firm sponsor associate memberships in bulk? Yes — discounted at 10+ associates. Email sponsorship for our firm-tier sheet.

What happens if I leave practice? We have an alumni rate for members who go in-house, into the judiciary, or to academia. Same dues structure, lighter programming. Email us and we’ll set you up.
