Navigation ABOTA reduces jury trial requirement to enhance membership oppportunities
The invitation-only American Board of Trial Advocates, a national organization founded in 1958, has revised its membership requirements, state leaders announced Wednesday.
FLABOTA President Rebecca Brock, a Palm Beach attorney, said in a newsletter that new member recruitment was a “hot topic” at a weekend national board meeting in Nashville.
Brock noted that the board voted to revise the ABOTA constitution and bylaws and pointed to Article III (1) Membership and Bylaw IV Trial Experience, which now require at least seven jury trials (rather than 10 jury trials) and 100 points to qualify for membership.
