Pro:
The State Bar Has Outgrown
Its Current Building
By Gerald M. O'Brien
The current State Bar
Center is 40 years old. It was built when membership was approximately 6,500.
Today, we have more than 19,000 members, 78 staff, 50 committees, 23 sections
and three divisions and a long list of member service activities. As we
approach the 21st century, our technology needs are changing and our membership
is growing by at least 400 attorneys each year.

Con:
The State Bar Does Not
Need a New Facility
By Robert R. Goepel
In September the Board of Governors authorized
$10,000 to study sites and requirements for a new Bar building.
In summary, a new building is not needed, is staff driven, poorly
documented in terms of exploration of alternatives, a burden upon
the members and sold by a campaign of misinformation.
