For more than 30 years, the Southern Trial Lawyers Association has fostered camaraderie, learning, and networking among trial lawyers throughout thirteen southern states. STLA does not engage in political activity or fundraising of any kind, leaving those worthwhile activities to the state trial lawyer associations and the American Association for Justice.
The Southern Trial Lawyers Association encompasses the following member states:
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
We offer members two educational events a year, both overflowing with opportunities to forge professional and personal relationships that will last a lifetime. The Annual Conference during Mardi Gras in New Orleans features exceptional CLE and world class fun in one of America's most fascinating and entertaining cities. The Fall CLE Seminar is where the members of STLA come together to learn and share strategies in a fun and inviting location.
Each year, STLA donates to one or more charities of the president's choosing. President Ken Suggs has selected the Girl Scouts of South Carolina—Mountains to Midlands and World Wildlife Fund to receive $10,000 each.
The mission of Girl Scouts is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of South Carolina—Mountains to Midlands carries out that mission by delivering leadership experiences, outdoor adventure, and life-skills programming to girls in central and western South Carolina, empowering them to grow into strong, capable young women.
For more than 50 years, World Wildlife Fund has been at work to protect our living planet, so it remains a source of joy for generations to come. WWF’s mission is to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. They work to conserve and restore biodiversity, the web that supports all life on Earth; to reduce humanity's environmental footprint; and to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources to support current and future generations.
