    What Leading Professionals are Saying

    Practicing in a two-person government office, membership in the Government and Public Sector Lawyers Division has been invaluable. It has provided me access to numerous other government lawyers who understand the challenges and opportunities of public law practice, particularly challenges that are not necessarily related to the rule of law. I've had the chance to share my knowledge with colleagues and learn from their expertise, as well as access a nationwide system of support and camaraderie. I recommend that all public sector practitioners join GPSLD!

    I have found my membership in GPSLD to be extremely valuable. Not only have I met terrific colleagues from across the country who share a passion for public service; but I have had the opportunity to participate in unique programs, insightful CLE courses, and thorough discussions of issues that enhance my government practice.
