The American Association for Justice (AAJ®) works to preserve the constitutional right to trial by jury and to make sure people have a fair chance to seek justice when they are injured by the negligence or misconduct of others - even when it means taking on the most powerful corporations.

The Legal Associate Editor routinely edits and proofreads for Trial magazine, and the Professional Negligence Law Reporter and Products Liability Law Reporter.
