BCCN Partner Will Nefzger Attends American Association for Justice Annual Convention In New York City
The American Association for Justice (AAJ) is a private professional organization whose membership is made up of trial lawyers. AAJ is committed to the promotion of a fair and effective justice system, and in doing so advocates for consumer protection and safety and against immunity for careless and reckless conduct.
I am an active member of AAJ and attended the annual convention in New York City this past week. AAJ conventions offer opportunities for both professional and business development in the form of continuing legal education programs, group meetings to discuss and exchange ideas, networking and social events and more. It is great to gather with lawyers from around the country to share experiences, and it is a lot of fun.
The highlight of the convention for me probably was listening to Bill Clinton speak at a Public Justice event. Mr. Clinton did not charge to speak to us. He values what we and Public Justice do and reminded us why it is so important to keep fighting for those that do not have the same opportunities, access and status that we have achieved and earned. It was very stirring and inspirational and prompted me to become a member of Public Justice in addition to AAJ.
I am already looking forward to the winter convention in Phoenix!
