The impact of courtroom decisions can last a lifetime.
Legal precedents are set, lives are dramatically altered, and, sometimes, history is made.
If you're considering trial law, congratulations. For a lawyer, there is no higher professional calling than to stand at the bar of justice and fight for the rights of individuals. And while many new attorneys do research for others, trial lawyers typically take their own cases into the courtroom in their first year of practice. ATLA is the world's largest trial bar, with 58,000 members worldwide. You'll begin your professional education with ATLA's Mentor program, pairing you with an experienced trial lawyer who will share valuable guidance, advice, and insights.
