General Information

The Construction Section is a fairly large and active section of the State Bar of Arizona. The section has been in existence since 1987 and currently has over 400 members. Annual Dues are $35/year. Activities of the section include:

Monthly luncheon programs held in Downtown Phoenix during the months of September through May
Occasional luncheon programs held in Downtown Tucson
Sponsorship of a half-day CLE program during the State Bar Annual Convention
Sponsorship of an additional CLE program in the Spring or Fall

Benefits

Monthly lunch programs that qualify for CLE credit and keep you informed on important issues in your construction practice.
Opportunity to discuss construction related issues with fellow practitioners

Each year, the section is led by an Executive Council consisting of a chair, chair-elect, past chair, secretary, budget officer, and three members-at large. The members-at-large are elected to serve three-year terms; all others serve one-year terms. The council meets monthly to plan the monthly lunch and CLE programs and to discuss various topics of concern to the section.

Membership in the section requires the payment of annual dues and is open to any State Bar member in good standing or any qualified individual involved in the construction industry. However, membership by a person who is not a member of the State Bar is considered a section affiliate and does not hold rights to vote or serve on the council.
