Joining any of DRI’s 30 committees is a great way to engage with the DRI Community, enhance your career, and grow your network. Practice areas range from Appellate Advocacy and Alternative Dispute Resolution, to Employment and Labor Law, to Insurance Law, to Product Liability and Workers’ Compensation. A number of the committees also have “specialized litigation groups” (SLGs) that focus on specific areas of practice.
There are also dedicated committees for in-house counsel*, diverse lawyers, women, and young lawyers. The DRI International Committee serves members who practice in Canada, Europe and the Pacific Rim. In this ever-changing global legal landscape, having access to diverse resources from around the world is no longer a convenience, but a necessity.
As a Committee member you will receive the most up-to-date legal information and meet some of the leading defense lawyers in your area(s) of practice. Committees offer numerous opportunities to network, exchange ideas, offer client referrals, and collaborate with other members with similar interests; and keep informed about key issues within the practice, as well as upcoming committee activities such as meetings, seminars, webcasts and publications.
