LGBT Caucus
The LGBT Caucus is a networking group of voting members that focuses on membership, fundraising, education, and public service.
Membership
While the LGBT Caucus is AAJ's newest caucus, it has grown quickly. To help members keep connected, the caucus hosts virtual monthly happy hours and meets in person at AAJ's conventions.
Interested in joining? All AAJ members who identify as a member of the LGBT community, or as an ally, are welcome.
Casey Johnson

What are you waiting for? Join us today to become part of the rich, rainbow-colored fabric of our caucus, and avail yourself of the countless opportunities to get involved and maximize the value of your AAJ experience!"

To further the their outreach, the caucus has created a convention scholarship. This scholarship allows a trial lawyer member who supports the mission of AAJ and the LGBT community to attend AAJ's Annual Convention. AAJ's conventions are the best way to connect and learn from a national network of leading trial lawyers.
