The preservation of the civil
jury trial, the embodiment of the concept "Justice
by the People" is the primary purpose of the American
Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). Although guaranteed by
the Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution,
the civil jury trial has been under constant attack.
As faithful stewards of the
constitutional right, the more that 4,000 members of ABOTA
are divided between defense and plaintiff civil trial lawyers.
By imposing high membership standards, our "by invitation
only" association has earned the reputation as the
best in the nation.
Only the most qualified defense
and plaintiff attorneys with courtroom experience are invited
to join ABOTA. The high caliber of the membership and the
defense-plaintiff balance give ABOTA a unique edge over
other legal organizations. Personal character and an honorable
reputation are paramount to qualify for ABOTA.
A natural by-product of this
unique union of attorneys is an increased awareness of the
importance of civility and professionalism, both in and
out of the courtroom.
With a strong national governing
board of over 150 representatives and chapters in all 50
states, ABOTA has rallied to the defense of the civil jury
trial since 1958. The membership provides a sense of family
and community through chapter activities, regional and national
conventions. The local chapters provide grass roots strength,
while promoting civility and the art of advocacy.
ABOTA seeks attorneys who display
skill, civility and integrity, to help younger attorneys
achieve a higher level of trial advocacy and to educate
the public about the vital importance of the Seventh Amendment.
