Legal/Attorney Focused

AAJ 2026 Annual Convention

This edition has already taken place. It is kept for reference; check the organizer’s site for the next edition.

The American Association for Justice's flagship annual convention for trial lawyers, with CLE, advocacy updates and a large exhibit hall.

Who attends

AAJ is the national bar association for plaintiff/trial lawyers and its conventions are the largest gathering of policyholder-side and plaintiff attorneys in the country. Property insurance and bad-faith practitioners attend, and the exhibit hall is a mature legal-tech marketplace. For a vendor selling to policyholder attorneys (and to PAs who work referral relationships with them) this is the biggest attorney-facing national audience in the bucket.

  • Policyholder Attorneys
  • Plaintiff Trial Lawyers
  • Paralegals
  • Legal Administrators
  • Legal Tech Vendors
