President's Message
current officers

It is a privilege to serve as President of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. At a time when the Rule of Law is under attack, the Academy stands as a voice for justice, advocacy, and integrity. The Academy and our Fellows are committed to defending democratic values and supporting an independent judiciary. We are working with and supporting programs and initiatives that have a lasting impact. I invite you to explore our work and join us in standing up for what matters.
