Trial Lawyer of the Year

Trial Lawyer of the Year

The MAJ Trial Lawyer of the Year Award may be bestowed annually upon the Maryland trial lawyer or team of trial lawyers (including at least one Maryland lawyer) who made the greatest contribution to the public interest by trying or settling a case of precedential value - precedential either because it changed the law in a way that is beneficial to Marylanders or has, for other reasons, "sent a message" to those who might otherwise trample upon the rights of Maryland citizens.  Nominees may have engaged in a broad range of work that furthers our goal of keeping Maryland families safe, including but not limited to civil rights, consumer rights, workers' rights, human rights, and/or corporate accountability.

Nominations may come from a variety of sources: the general public, attorneys, and MAJ members (including members of MAJ's Board of Governors). Up to three (3) finalists are chosen by MAJ's Executive Committee. The winner is voted upon by the Board of Governors.
