Whether you are a longtime member, or considering membership, I hope you find our website to be a resource that helps you locate the information you are seeking. Our website provides access to information about the services, publications, CLE, and other benefits available through the Section. If you have any questions, or are interested in learning more about membership in the Section, please feel free to contact Eugene Holmes, the Chair of our Membership Committee, or staff, and they'll be sure to get back to you.

One of the best ways to get involved in HLS activities is through our Interest Groups (IGs).  For example, many leadership, publication, speaking, networking and CLE opportunities are made available through the IGs. Please note that once you are a member of the Section, you can join up to 3 of our 12 Interest Groups at no charge! Click here to join now.
