On Tuesday, July 15, AABANY’s Litigation Committee held their Kick-Off Meeting at the offices of Akin Gump. New Committee Chairs Carolyn Mattus and Abraham Cho polled the attendees for how they could best serve the Committee. Ideas included:

• Trial Skills Workshops
• How to Take a Deposition Training
• Other Professional Development
• Peer Group Mentoring
• Committee Meetings with a CLE component
• Mooting Students for Thomas Tang Moot Court Competition
• Social Events
• Happy Hours
• Litigation Message Board/Forum
• Litigation Committee Member Directory

If you’re a litigator or law student interested in litigation, take their survey and let them know what kind of programming would serve you best: http://bit.ly/aabanylitigation 

Their already scheduled upcoming programs include the AABANY Annual Picnic on Aug. 9 and the Trial Advocacy Program during our Sixth Annual Fall Conference on Sept. 19. It’s not too late to sign up for those events!

We’d love to hear from you!
