The Section also plays an important role in supporting and promoting the rule of law, ethical rules and fair procedures, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the profession, and access to justice. I welcome litigators of all practice areas to benefit from our written, virtual, and in-person content. I’m particularly excited to host a Women’s Joint CLE Conference in San Diego in November 2023, our Section’s Annual Conference in D.C. in May 2024, and a host of meetings for specific practice areas, including our popular Insurance Coverage Litigation meeting in Tucson in March 2024.”
