About the Legislative & Campaign Law Section
Connecting and educating Texas Attorneys in the Legislative and Campaign practice.
About Our Section
The Legislative and Campaign Law Section is one of the newest sections of the State Bar of Texas. Lawyers in this Section practice at the intersection of law, policymaking, and politics, guiding clients in navigating legal issues involving the operation and regulation of legislative institutions and governmental agencies, professional lobbying, public integrity and government transparency, state agency appropriations and procurement, and elections and campaign finance.
The Section worked with the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS) to establish the new certification in Legislative and Campaign Law. The Texas Supreme Court issued an order in December 2019 approving the certification, and there are now 15 attorneys who are board certified in legislative and campaign law. Should you have any questions about certification, please visit: https://www.tbls.org/specialtyarea/LC
The Section’s CLE events have covered topics such as legislative drafting, legislative procedure, lobbying ethics, administrative advocacy, campaign finance laws, artificial intelligence in electoral and legislative work, and much more. We are always planning similarly relevant and informative CLE events.
The Section issues occasional newsletters, featuring updates on legislative and state agency activities, court decisions, Texas Ethics Commission rulemaking and opinions, election and campaign finance developments and other issues of interest to the Legislative and Campaign Law practitioner.
The Section also hosts networking gatherings to help its members make new connections in our growing practice area.
