The State Bar includes committees, boards, sections, and divisions that are run by more than 4,500 volunteers, both lawyers and nonlawyers. Their responsibilities include executive management of the Bar, providing assistance to local bar associations, developing continuing legal education programs for attorneys, conducting educational activities for the public, and administering the grievance system. The staff at the Bar's headquarters in Austin and in regional grievance offices around the state supports the work of the volunteers. The Office of the General Counsel is responsible to the Board of Directors and the Commission for Lawyer Discipline on grievance matters and is responsible to the executive director on all budgetary and administrative matters. It is near the Supreme Court Building and State Capitol.
