Sections & Committees
CCBA Sections
The Collin County Bar Assocation (CCBA) offers continuing legal education to its members through monthly meetings (except December and June) where topics of general interest to all members are presented and through annual seminars and section meetings focused on particular areas of law.
General membership meetings and Section meeting dates and location are published on the CCBA Event Calendar.
Section dues enable the Section to provide presentation materials to attendees and an honorarium to speakers, and to fund other section events. While only Section members will receive the free MCLE credit, we encourage non-members to come visit Section meetings to learn and build relationships.
To receive e-mail reminders of section meetings and other section events, add the section dues to your CCBA membership.
