Attorney Brian R. Mason Elected to the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA)
Jun 09, 2020
A small percentage of lawyers across the United States are Members of the elite ABOTA group
The Mason Firm is pleased to announce that Brian R. Mason has been elected to the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). ABOTA is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious national organizations for trial lawyers.
Founded in 1958, ABOTA is an invitation-only national association of experienced trial lawyers and judges. ABOTA and its members are dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the civil jury trial right provided by the Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. ABOTA membership consists of lawyers across the United States including plaintiff, defense, and judges in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Less than 1% of lawyers in the United States are part of the organization.
The process to become a member starts with the invitation to join by a current member. Brian then had to fill out an extensive application and list all of his jury trials, including the names and phone numbers of all opposing counsel and judges. ABOTA leaders then call the judges and oppossing counsel to vet Brian and determine if he would be a good fit. Additionally, it is a requirement that you have been the lead counsel on a minimum of 10 civil jury trials, which is a rare accomplishment for Brian's age.
After the vetting process the local chapter votes on members and requires 75% approval for membership. If approved, then the national chapter must vote on the membership as well.
As a member, Brian will be able to help with the mission of ABOTA, protecting the right to the civil trial by jury. As the ABOTA website mission statement put its, "America's greatness lies in its people. And in its people lies the foundation of justice -- trial by jury. The Seventh Amendment is a precious right that is increasingly under attack by those who would eliminate justice by the people in favor of justice by the bureaucracy."
