Formerly known as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA®), AAJ held its 2010 annual meeting July 10 - July 14 in one of the world's premiere cities, Vancouver BC.
Lawyers from all over the US, Canada and beyond converged to attend more than a hundred section and litigation group meetings and events that took place at the Vancouver convention center.
Sessions included a broad range of subjects like pharmacy and products liability litigation, several different types of accident and transportation law; bicycles, motorcycles, cars, railroads, trucking, aviation and maritime, employment, housing, criminal, civil rights and more. There was even a group meeting to discuss electrical blankets and heating pad accidents along with the Gulf Coast oil spill and pending litigation (good news to hear its been capped and is not leaking!)
Since Vancouver is such a fantastic destination for so many people from around the world, it seems that most of the attorneys spent most of their time outside of their sessions,outside of the convention hall.
Despite the lower-than-expected traffic to the exhibit hall, we connected with several good attorneys from key markets where we need help like New York, Seattle and Southern California.
