Former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican Party nominee, was injured in a shooting yesterday during a political rally. An attendee and the shooter were both killed. The International Academy of Trial Lawyers unequivocally condemns political violence in all its forms. It is anathema to our mission to protect and promote the Rule of Law. Voting, not violence, is essential to democracy and a civilized society.
Karen Burgess, President
