Professional Negligence Section

Our collaboration takes place on various levels, such as exchanging information on opposing counsel, expert witnesses and motions practice during our monthly roundtable discussions and active section listserv. We recognize the importance of networking in our profession, and as such, we organize in-person networking events. We provide two CLEs annually during fall and winter that focus on section-specific subjects. Our section, being one of the largest of the NCAJ, is further reinforced by our members from all over the state.
