"Law students are the future of plaintiff’s practice, and their voices, energy, and perspectives are vital to the continued growth of AAJ. As Co-Chair of the Law Schools Committee, I believe it's essential that AAJ invest in these future trial lawyers. By engaging with law students early, we create a stronger, more dynamic trial lawyer community to sustain AAJ’s mission for generations to come."
