American Board of Trial Advocates
Klinedinst is honored to shine a spotlight on the organizations making a difference in our community. One of those organizations that we are proud to feature is the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA).
Nationwide, the members of ABOTA consist of judges, plaintiffs’ attorneys and defense lawyers, and experienced trial lawyers dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the right to civil jury trials.
ABOTA’s primary goal is to educate the American public about the history and value of the right to trial by jury and is dedicated to elevating the standards of skill, integrity, honor and courtesy in the legal profession. The organization was one of the first in the U.S. to promote professionalism and civility, and it took the lead in having states adopt “civility” to be in the oath of office in state courts across the country.
Klinedinst’s ABOTA members became recognized and accepted through their experience in civil jury trials, their litigation expertise, and a ranking method in which legal professionals accumulate points in association with their on-going experience in jury trials.
