Getting involved in TIPS has been one of the best decisions I have made. I use the resources that come with TIPS membership on a daily basis. The involvement of plaintiff, defense, and corporate attorneys in TIPS means that I have made useful connections with members in all areas of practice. The ability to get different perspectives form other TIPS members is invaluable in evaluating my own legal position on a matter.
