Committees

Participation is the key to Lawyers Conference activities. Aside from the benefits that you receive as a member of the ABA, the Judicial Division and the Lawyers Conference, as a Lawyers Conference member, you will have access to its committees and other entities which provide members a lively and open forum for analysis, debate, education and production of publications, software, and videos, as well as programs to enhance the administration of justice.

Lawyers Conference Committees allow members to participate in judicial reform, court delay reduction, civil justice reform and community-based justice efforts with the support of the ABA. Members also initiate proposals and assess improvements in the courts and broader issues of justice reform.

Using the national voice that the ABA provides, Lawyers Conference Committees have achieved a great deal in their respective areas of concentration.

Conference Committee members are very enthusiastic individuals committed to maintaining an efficient, independent judiciary. Many Lawyers Conference members have expressed the view that Committee work has provided them with unprecedented professional and personal growth. The Lawyers Conference encourages members to become involved and to bring to the attention of these Committees their ideas and concerns so that the objectives and interests of all members can be heard, understood and incorporated into Lawyers Conference proposals, projects and initiatives.
