The Government Law Section (GLS) welcomes bar members whose practice involves representing the diverse forms of government in Oregon, whether the state, counties, cities or special districts, regional or federal governments.  The Section meets monthly at the Bar Offices, by telephone or in locations outside the Portland metro area.  We sponsor two CLEs each year. The vision of the section executive committee is to offer members
e-mail alerts on topics of interest to government lawyers,  remain active in legislative information and education, and maintain links for resources of interest to lawyers whose practice involves government.
