State Bar
Who We are
The State Bar General Unit includes all non-attorney classifications at the State Bar of California, including legal secretaries, investigators, paralegals, program analysts, IT and finance staff, administrative assistants, and court specialists.
Members work in nearly all areas of the Bar including the Office of Chief Trial Counsel, State Bar Courts, Admissions, Access & Inclusion, and General Services. Worksites are located in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The State Bar bargaining units are covered by Memorandums of Understanding with the State Bar of California, which are negotiated separately from the MOU with the State of California.
