Attorneys Information Exchange Group (AIEG)

ATTORNEYS INFORMATION EXCHANGE GROUP, INC. (AIEG)

The Attorneys Information Exchange Group is a multi-service cooperative, organized by trial lawyers to assist one another in the preparation and trial of a variety of product defect cases. A non-profit organization, the AIEG devotes all its revenue to expanding and upgrading both its resources and services to member lawyers. Membership is limited to active members of the American Association for Justice who represent plaintiffs in product defect cases.

The AIEG's primary objective is to afford trial lawyers the same benefit of collaborative effort in product defect cases which defense lawyers have long enjoyed. Toward that end, the organization maintains four databases containing defect specific materials: (1) technical papers, (2) law data (motions, briefs, etc.), (3) depositions and trial transcripts, and (4) a compilation of attorney-selected documents (including the manufacturer's internal documents) of special significance.

Moreover, the AIEG encourages the exchange of ideas through its seminars, newsletter, and organized networking activities. By supporting member lawyers’ case preparations, giving them the means to detect manufacturers' discovery abuses in similar cases, the AIEG ultimately works to benefit not only individual litigants, but the administration of justice.
