EVENTS & MEETINGS

In addition to reports about our cutting-edge cases, the Public Justice Foundation's Annual Meeting features some of the top news- and decision-makers in the public interest community. Our roster of keynote speakers reads like a Who's Who in the public interest community, including Morris Dees, Jesse Jackson, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and California Attorney General Jerry Brown. Open to the public, the Annual Meeting is held each year in conjunction with the American Association for Justice (AAJ) Summer Convention.

Our Annual Gala and Awards Dinner is a popular summer stop for trial lawyers and the public interest community. It is there that the finalists for the nationally prestigious Trial Lawyer of the Year Award are feted and the winner is announced. Supporters can also test their bargaining skills in our lively live auction. Invariably, the Annual Gala makes for an elegant, fun and inspiring evening.
