You must be a CBA member to enroll in Sections. Here are the steps:

Complete the enrollment form for your Branch (or visit your CBA Branch website for more details):
Once enrolled with your Branch, we will automatically enroll you in the CBA national Section of the same name at no extra cost.
If you don’t see the Section you want at your Branch, you may join it directly at the CBA national level. To do so, check the “national Section” space on the Branch enrollment form (some Branches include a separate national Section list in their section registration package).

Judges: If you are a judge and a member of the CBA, we will automatically enroll you in the Canadian Judges Section.
In-house counsel: Visit the Canadian Corporate Counsel Association site to enroll in the CCCA Section in your province or territory .
