National Advisory Board
The National Advisory Board of the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of
America is an unpaid voluntary group of lawyer citizens from across America who
have agreed to provide the association with innovative guidance and counsel in the
methods of learning, litigation and legislation to help us to achieve our association's
stated mission.

National Advisory Board Members
|
|
Our National Advisory Board members include lawyer citizens who are recognized leaders
in their profession, many of whom have been voted by their peers to elected offices
in their respective local or state bar associations, or state, local or national
trial lawyer associations or litigation groups. Our board also includes frequent
speakers at local, state or national continuing legal education programs on the
subject of interstate trucking litigation or trial practice. Some are nationally
recognized authors on interstate trucking litigation.
Membership on this board is by invitation only. Membership is limited to a group
of not more than 100 lawyer citizens from across America. Board members agree to
work within our association to help us to achieve a substantial reduction in the
thousands of traffic deaths and injuries that occur each year on America's highways
that are caused by unsafe trucking companies who choose to operate in violation
of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
Prior to extending an invitation to any lawyer to serve on our National Advisory
Board, careful consideration is given to a number of important criteria, including
each potential board member's knowledge, reputation, litigation record and qualifications
in interstate trucking litigation. There is no "big firm" requirement
to serve on the board. More importantly, there is a "big heart" requirement.
To help determine that last element of qualification, a personal interview is conducted
prior to extending an invitation.
