The heart of our group is our members.

 

But without our ANOTL staff and leaders, all of which serve in their spare time free of charge, we could not do what we do. Our social chair serves a two year term organizing our events and growing our membership. Our board is made up of past social chairs. We also have several other staff members that help with accounting, scheduling and communications with our members and local judiciary.

Our Members Are Primarily Trial Lawyers

Attendance at our meetings is open to both members and non-members, and we likewise welcome lawyers of all types, even our opponents in the courtroom. Ultimately our individual goal as lawyers is to represent our clients vigorously and professionally, but ultimately our collective goal is always compromise where possible. 

"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser---in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough."  

Abraham Lincoln
