CLA’s Advocacy Efforts Featured in Daily Journal

CLA’s Advocacy Efforts Featured in Daily Journal Lyle Moran’s article, “New state lawyers group marks a year of legislative influence,”  [Daily Journal on December 27, 2018], highlighted the role CLA has and will play in advocating for the legal profession.  CLA’s opposition to an attempt to tax legal services, which failed to become law, is just one example of CLA’s successful advocacy in representing its 100,000 members before the Legislature.  CLA’s advocacy efforts will increase in 2019, “We are looking to increase our stature as a resource to the Legislature,” Association president Heather L. Rosing said.  The creation of CLA through the separation from the State Bar gives the organization greater latitude in its efforts to represent its members.  “We are writing on a broader canvas so to speak,” Director of Government Affairs Saul Bercovitch noted.
