In nearly two decades of involvement in TIPS, I have received so much more than I have given. My TIPS friends have helped me evaluate my cases, acted as local counsel, sent me business referrals, and taught me so much. I have watched their children grow and count my TIPS family among my best friends.

The Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section
Welcome to the ABA Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section (TIPS)—the source of knowledge and leadership on trial practice and critical issues of justice that involve tort and insurance law. There are numerous benefits of TIPS membership. We invite you to explore these resources and join the TIPS family today.
TIPS is unique within the ABA and the legal community because of our focus on balance and diversity, bringing together plaintiffs, defense, corporate and in-house counsel to tackle issues confronting our profession. But what really makes TIPS unique are the people. The colleagues you will meet and with whom you will interact will, in many instances, become life-long friends and resources for your professional endeavors.
TIPS enriches the tort, trial and insurance fields of law through CLE programs, comprehensive periodicals, cutting-edge publications, and innovative online resources.
As a member, you will advance your career, grow your client base, develop the necessary litigation practice skills, further your networking opportunities and have access to the latest legal developments– from the plaintiffs as well as the defense side of the bar. But TIPS goes beyond both sides of the bar. As the authority on insurance issues at the ABA, only TIPS can show you practice issues in three dimensions.
TIPS strives to keep our members at the forefront of emerging issues and technologies. This year has
been replete with breaking issues and TIPS has been a leader on the national scene. Your membership
