Greetings:

As the incoming 2009-2010 President of the Western Trial Lawyers Association I would like to welcome you to our web site. This organization was founded in 1966 and has always been dedicated to the proposition of advancing the cause of justice in the representation of clients in personal injury claims.

While other trial lawyer organizations have recently chosen to remove the words “trial lawyers” from the names of their organizations, members of the Western Trial Lawyers Association our proud to call themselves trial lawyers and apologize to no one for the years of advanced education and practice necessary to achieve such recognition.

Primarily we are known for holding top quality continuing legal education seminars in a collegial atmosphere at ski resorts for our winter conventions and in Hawaii at our annual conventions. For 2010, our winter convention will be held from February 25th-27th at Sun Valley, Idaho. From June 14th-17th we will again hold our annual convention at the all suites Kea Lani Resort on the beach in Wailea, Maui.

Last July the Western Trial Lawyers Association, the Consumer Attorneys of California, and the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association were the primary sponsors of a spectacular reception at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco during the American Association for Justice annual convention.

Annual membership is still only $95.00. All ethical attorneys who subscribe to our creed and who are in good standing with their State Bar of any state are welcome to join. We do not solicit any political or PAC donations. Whether you are a solo practitioner or in the litigation department of a large law firm, you would surely be a welcome member of the Western Trial Lawyers Association.

I hope to see you in 2010 on the ski slopes or in paradise.

Regards,

Bradley Paul Elley, Esq.
