Membership is strictly by invitation. Firms are invited to join only after demonstrating the highest quality service, industry leadership and the clear value their membership would bring to the network. Candidacy is informed by recommendations from members, clients and colleagues; professional memberships, writing and teaching experience; and community service, honors and rankings.

State Capital Group has been involved in several projects that highlight the individual and collective expertise of the attorneys in its member firms. For example, the State Capital Group's Lobbying, PACs, and Campaign Finance: 50 State Handbook, which is published annually by Thomson/West Group, provides a state-by-state analysis of the regulations and laws covering campaign contributions and proper contact with elected officials in each of the fifty states.
