Alabama Association for Justice

What Alabama Association for Justice does

Alabama Association for Justice (ALAJ) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1954 and headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama. It serves plaintiff trial attorneys practicing in Alabama's civil justice system across personal injury, workers' compensation, trucking litigation, and traumatic brain injury matters. The association's core mission is preserving the Seventh Amendment right to trial by jury, executed through legislative advocacy in the Alabama Legislature and the operation of an affiliated political action committee (TRIAL PAC).

The association's product portfolio centers on a continuing legal education (CLE) catalog of approximately 80 programs delivered live and on-demand via the SeminarWeb platform, priced at $79–$129 per program with member/non-member tiering. Membership benefits extend beyond CLE to include specialty caucuses, ListServes, the tiered ALAJ Fellows Program (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze), the ELITE Leadership Academy, the Emerging Leaders Board, the Justice Forum, the ALAJ Journal, and direct legislative advocacy services. Programs are approved for CLE credit in 30+ jurisdictions, and ALAJ co-publishes content with peer associations in Michigan, California, Kentucky, and elsewhere.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring membership dues (non-refundable), CLE registration fees, TRIAL PAC member contributions, and journal advertising/sponsorship. Distribution is single-country and direct-to-member via the members.alabamajustice.org portal, in-person Annual Convention and Winter Summit, and the SeminarWeb-hosted on-demand catalog. Marketing relies on organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube), email, content, and member-to-member referral within the Alabama legal community.
