Message from the President
The West Virginia Association for Justice is the only organization in West Virginia whose mission is to protect your constitutional right to trial by jury. Your 7th Amendment right to trial by jury in civil cases is one of the most fundamental rights we have as Americans. It allows us to challenge our state or federal government when our other rights are threatened. It also allows us to hold wrongdoers accountable when they harm us physically or financially.
Sadly, this fundamental right is under attack. Billion-dollar insurance companies, corporations and other special interests want to increase their profits over your rights and your safety. For decades, WVAJ and its member trial lawyers have stood on the frontlines of this assault in our courtrooms and our capitol.
West Virginia trial lawyers are also business and community leaders. Their firms provide important and needed local jobs in cities and towns throughout the state. They are active in their local chambers of commerce, churches and civic organizations. They help educate our young people and coach youth sports teams. They serve on local boards, support local charities and work hard as part of local and state service projects. Every day West Virginia trial lawyers are making a real difference in the places where they live and work.
It is an honor to serve as the 2020 - 2021 president of this association.
