State Bar Stories are personal testimonials that reflect the State Bar's commitment to its mission of public protection, diversity and inclusion, and access to justice for all Californians: one story at a time.
On January 1, 2018, the most significant structural reform in the State Bar of California’s history came to fruition: a restructuring that enabled the State Bar to focus solely on its regulatory role and mission to protect the public. This transformational change is still reverberating five years later.
Oyango Snell, CLA CEO/Executive Director, and Elizabeth Rindskopf-Parker, former State Bar Executive Director (2015-2017) share their firsthand perspectives on how much that fundamental shift has served the good of both the public and California licensees.
