ATLA's Litigation Groups
There are seventy ATLA Litigation Groups. Litigation Groups are among
the most important functions of ATLA. They range from Abusive Tax Shelters
to Zyprexa.
The following information is taken from the ATLA web site:
Litigation Groups are voluntary networks of ATLA members who share
their accumulated information and experience regarding a specific type
of case. Often, a litigation group will focus on a particular product,
such as: breast implants, nail guns, cardiac devices, penile implants,
or tobacco products. Other litigation groups are broader in scope, focusing
on a category of claims, such as: construction site accidents, inadequate
security, domestic violence, workplace injury, bad faith insurance,
or nursing homes.
Litigation groups are a critical tool for the plaintiff's trial bar.
They level the playing field for advocates of injured victims who must
battle the overwhelming resources of corporate counsel. For many years
now, litigation groups have been a major feature of ATLA and a focus
of increasing participation on the part of many members. Their activities
now comprise more than a third of ATLA's annual convention activities.
Groups number nearly 70, and new groups are being organized constantly.
Despite all the activity and growth, litigation groups can help many
more Association members who are currently not taking advantage of their
services.
