Movies, Videos, Photographs and Press Conferences Policy
The State Bar Building, including its signage, is not available to members, the public, law firms, non-State Bar organizations and others for use in movies, videos, photographs and press conferences. This restriction may be waived by a majority of the five State Bar officers upon a showing of good cause. Requests for waivers should be in writing and contain a detailed description of the purpose, distribution, visual and text script, list of participants, list of equipment to be used, insurance coverage, and other information as requested by the State Bar's General Counsel and Executive Director.
Non-Bar Events
Non-Bar events are defined as events for attorneys or other parties that are not client related. Invoices will be sent once the event has been scheduled. Payment must be received in advance of the meeting. Space may be released if payment is not received by the appropriate date.
Teaching Events
Normally an attorney's use of the Conference Center for personal, non-professional activities includes a rental fee charge. However, when an attorney uses the Bar Center for public law-related education purposes that is a non-commercial, nonprofit activity, then space is offered free of charge. Groups must still pay for food and drink.
