As the President-Elect of the Maryland Trial Lawyer's Association, I am proud to report that the Maryland Trial Lawyer's Association (MTLA) is now officially the Maryland Association for Justice (MAJ). The name change vote occurred last night (October 29, 2008) in Baltimore, Maryland. I stronly believe that the Maryland Association for Justice is a much better name for our organization because it describes what we do rather than who we are. I am extrememly proud to be a trial lawyer. But what we do, day in and day out, is fight for justice for our clients. We strive to keep families safe, and to protect access to the Courts. It is important that our organization's name describe what we do, rather than simply state who we are. As trial lawyers, our fight is on behalf of the "little guy" and it is typically against big insurance companies, big corporations, and powerful special interests.
I am also proud to report that MTLA (now the Maryland Association For Justice) was awarded the Best Project Award by the Maryland State Bar Association. This was for MTLA's School Project whereby our trial attorney members go into the various high schools throughout the State of Maryland and give presentations on the Civil Justice System. Louise Locke and David Wildberger are responsible for putting this incredible program together.
