Committees
The State Bar of Arizona has committees to advise and serve the State Bar by addressing constitutional, statutory or regulatory issues and make recommendations about legal services and the administration of justice.
Appointment Process: The application period for 2024-25 is now open and closes on April 12, 2024!
Term of Appointment: Member will serve a 3-year term with a 3-term limit. Members will be asked to reapply after each term for a subsequent term. If the Bar President determines that institutional knowledge is critical to the functioning of the committee, up to one-third of the committee would be eligible for reappointment to serve additional time beyond the 3-term limit. The President-Elect will consider such factors as geographical representation, attendance records and the contributions made by members in considering reappointments.
New Committees: The State Bar of Arizona has created the Advancement & Improvement Committee*. Applications will be accepted through April 30, 2024!
The State Bar is seeking legal professionals, technology experts, and community stakeholders to join the Access to Justice Committee to address critical and important issues. The current State Bar President will appoint initial members to the committee for staggered terms between 1-3 years. Applications for the newly formed Access to Justice Committee* are now closed.
