Member Committee Meeting in San Diego
Council of Presidents

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.

2023-2024 COP Leadership
President: Jonathan Marshall | Bailey Glasser, LLP (West Virginia)
President-Elect: Craig Peters | Altair Law (California)
