Advantages of Membership

When you become a member of BHCC LSA you become a member of LSI® which provides educational, professional, and personal development information to legal support staff throughout the state of California. Many educational opportunities are available to members (and non-members, for a nominal fee) throughout California.

• Monthly educational programs and newsletters are provided by local associations
• General educational programs are offered at each LSI conference free to anyone wishing to attend. Topics vary among specialized areas of law, ethics, law office products and management, and personal development. Click on LSI Events for more information about upcoming LSI Events.
• Members (and non-members) are given the opportunity to join one or all six Legal Specialization Sections. Each specialization section offers seminars and newsletters on specific areas of law. Seminars are presented at each LSI quarterly and annual conference free to LSI section members and at a reduced cost to non-section members.
• Many local associations offer study groups for members interested in preparing to take the California Certified Legal Secretary (CCLS®) examination. Information on the CCLS examination can be found by clicking on "California Certified Legal Secretary" on the LSI website.

• All of the programs offered by LSI and/or its local associations are designed to provide current material and educational tools to enable law office support staff to remain current with the changes in general law, as well as in their respective areas of practice.
