LITIGATION
GROUP MEETINGS
AAJ Litigation
Groups are voluntary associations of members handling similar cases.
The groups reduce the cost of litigation and improve the quality of
representation through the sharing of documents, information, and
expertise. Some groups conduct business meetings while others present
informational programs. Many groups are affiliated with Sections.
Most Litigation Group meetings will be held at the Loews Miami
Hotel and DO NOT award CLE credits. For more information on any
group or to inquire about forming a group, visit the AAJ booth located
in the Exhibit Hall.
