The Government Lawyers Division addresses the concerns of government-employed attorneys. The division provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among government attorneys and aims to foster communication and cooperation between government and private practice lawyers. The division publishes a newsletter to keep members informed of division activities and developments in the practice of government law.

The division also provides for the active participation of publicly employed lawyers in the governance of the State Bar. Any voting member of the State Bar who receives a salary from any unit of government and who enrolls in the division is a member of the division. The division shall be governed by bylaws not inconsistent with State Bar rules and bylaws. The bylaws and any amendments become effective upon approval of the board of governors of the State Bar. SCR 10.05 (4) (i).
