DIVERSITY COMMITTEE
The Diversity Committee, along with PTLA's Diversity Resolution and Best Practices Manual, was created in 2007. Its goal is to ensure that PTLA promotes diversity in firms throughout the state, beginning with PTLA member firms. The committee communicates with diverse bar associations and with the region's law schools to provide students with information regarding the practices of trial lawyers. Joining the committee allows PTLA members to become directly involved in our initiative to improve diversity in law firms across Pennsylvania.

FUTURE LEADERS COMMITTEE
-
Future Leaders Council leads the committee's initiatives
The Future Leaders Committee is comprised of lawyers who have been in practice less than 15 years in the plaintiffs bar. The Committee meets quarterly to review current legislation in Harrisburg, receive political updates from our lobbyists, support PTLA events, and organize the Annual Holiday Drive. Joining the Future Leaders Committee is a great way for new, qualifying members to connect with the community of PTLA peers and leaders.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
Join the Membership Committee and spread the word about PTLA's goals and mission. The committee works together throughout the year soliciting new members and encouraging renewals. This is a great way to learn more about PTLA and share the importance of belonging to PTLA with other trial lawyers. Our strength is in numbers and in these difficult times we need every Philadelphia Trial Lawyer to join our ranks and present a united front in our quest to protect innocent victims from wrongdoers.

SMALL & SOLO PRACTITIONERS COMMITTEE
The Small & Solo Practitioners Committee provides a unique opportunity for firms with less than 10 attorneys to meet for informative round-table discussions directly relating to their practice. The committee invites speakers to share their expertise on advertising, communications, death & disability, office technology, and cyber security, to name a few subjects. Joining this committee is a great way to connect with your fellow trial lawyers and share the successes and challenges of managing a small practice.
