-
Members of the State Bar and their staff in prosecutorial offices whose duties include prosecuting gang members and other criminals

Regular members may hold elected office.
■ Who is not eligible
Membership will not be granted to anyone involved in off-duty conduct the Board considers unbecoming or contrary to the goals of the Association. This includes membership in motorcycle clubs that mimic the structure of outlaw motorcycle gangs, such as clubs that use three-piece patches, require probationary periods or mandate rides.
■ If your employment changes
Membership ends when eligibility ends. A member who leaves qualifying service for any reason other than honorable retirement may remain as an associate member only if they otherwise qualify, with Executive Board approval and payment of annual dues.
