State Trial Lawyer Associations
AAJ's Council of Presidents (COP) includes the Presidents, Presidents-Elect, and Immediate Past Presidents of every state and provincial Trial Lawyer Association (TLA). COP is a forum for members to discuss the unique experience of leading a TLA. The Council works closely with AAJ’s State Affairs team to provide legislative, research, and grassroots support to the TLAs and their members to help tackle anti-civil justice legislation.
