Trial Magazine

Established 10 years ago, Trial Lawyers Care® (TLC) is an initiative to encourage, recognize, and organize trial lawyers who contribute to their communities through volunteer and charitable activities. Each year, the TLC Award recognizes trial lawyers’ volunteer efforts. Here’s a look at past recipients. To learn more, visit www.justice.org/TLC. If you, your firm, or a colleague are doing good work for the community, let us know at tlc@justice.org.
