Join the Premier Class of Membership for Law Firms
AAJ’s Leaders Forum was created in 2000 to ensure that every person has access to justice--even when up against the most powerful interests. This select group of firms helps AAJ protect the civil justice system by increasing financial resources for public relations, legislative advocacy and public education efforts on Capitol Hill and in the court of public opinion. As a member of Leaders Forum, your firm will benefit from the opportunity for national recognition and an array of special invitations and free products and services focused on enhancing your practice. Join this elite class of law firms and help us at AAJ tell our side of the story.
While retaining the best of what made AAJ great over the past 60 years, we have undergone important and significant changes to better serve our members--and to protect the civil justice system from the rentless attacks by powerful special interests. A major challenge has been reframing the debate about the civil justice system and putting our opponents on the defensive.
With the help of Leaders Forum contributions, AAJ has: created a rapid-response communications team to take on powerful corporate interest groups and aggressively counter opposition assaults on the civil justice system; proactively generated news stories that promote the civil justice system at the national, state and local level; developed relationships with reporters to educate them on key issues; conducted numerous polls and message briefings to refine our narrative; conducted primary research and created individual issue campaign targeting the needs of the association.
Everyday we are moving our message and making a difference, but we are far from done. It is the support through Leaders Forum that will continue to make our success possible. Join Leaders Forum and help provide AAJ with the resources it needs to continue to protect every American's right to the Seventh Amendment.
