MISSION STATEMENT: |

The Section events should enhance the camaraderie and professionalism among construction law practitioners. Moreover, the Section’s sponsorship of educational programs, updates on developments in law and legislation, and written materials and resources for practitioners should promote a higher caliber of legal practice among Section members and across the Bar generally. |
