What is the Forum?

Established in 2012, the Forum is an annual meeting of up to 48 leading Plaintiffs’ Class Action litigators from across the United States.  Participants are personally selected and invited by the Steering Committee based on their vast experience and expertise in consumer class actions.

​This discussion based meeting does not feature traditional speakers and audio-visual presentations; instead, it focuses on the participation of all those in attendance.

​If you are interested in attending the 2026 Forum, please contact Lisa Nichols.

"The Forum serves as 5 CLEs in 1. The benefit is like-minded people collaborating on important issues that affect our everyday practice. One of the distinguishing factors is the transparency that is permitted through the Plaintiff’s side only participation."
