The Litigation Section focuses on the interests of trial lawyers, with programs to promote advocacy training, law reform, and professional development. The Section’s programs are designed for all litigators, regardless of experience and firm size, and regardless of plaintiff or defense orientation. The Section's governing board, the Litigation Section Executive Council, organizes networking events and CLEs, discusses ethical issues and rule changes affecting litigators, and serves as a resource to the CBA and Colorado legislature in analyzing pending legislation, and to the courts in analyzing proposed rule changes. The Executive Council meets monthly (with a summer hiatus). It is comprised of members (including attorneys, judges, mediators/arbitrators, and paraprofessionals) who practice in a variety of areas, working in both the public and private sectors, from all regions of Colorado.

 

The section programs are designed for all litigators, regardless of experience and firm size and regardless of plaintiff or defense orientation. The section does not have regular membership meetings and encourages its members to join the CBA’s substantive law sections. The Litigation Section is the main sponsor of the statewide high school mock trials completion and assists the CBA in finding team coaches and judges for the regional and state competitions. Section members also get a quarterly newsletter that keeps the members up to date on what has been going on at the council meetings and interesting information from the courts and state judicial.
