Justice Through Laws
The Conference of California Bar Associations brings together attorney volunteers representing bar associations throughout California to draft, debate, and promote creative, non-partisan changes to the law for the benefit of all Californians. Since 2010, CCBA has been a driving force in the Legislature, serving as the source of over a hundred bills that have been signed into law, more than any other organization.

CCBA is excited to announce that we have retained Cliff Costa and his firm, California Advocates, Inc., to provide advice and guidance for moving our legislative agenda forward successfully in 2026!Â

Sad News – Michele Anderson’s Untimely Death
Fellow Delegates,
With great sadness, I regret to inform you of the passing of Michele Anderson on December 29, 2025. Michele was the 2024 Chair of the Conference, an active member of our Board of Directors, the 2025 recipient of LACBA’s “Charlie English Spirit Award,” and a long-standing delegate and supporter of CCBA. She recently taught a class at Southwestern Law School on Legislative Drafting & Process and was a tireless advocate for justice, civic engagement, and advocacy through her work with CCBA and many other organizations. Michele will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate to know her.
