About the Committee
The Governmental Liability Committee is comprised of professionals who devote a substantial amount of time working with governments and government employees. Our membership includes experienced attorneys and insurance professionals. Our attorney
ranks not only include those in private practice, but also government attorneys. Our insurance professionals specialize in claims brought against government entities and are some of the most experienced in the country. The membership of this committee
is the tip of the spear when it comes to experience in this complex area of practice.
The Committee’s seminal event is its annual Civil Rights and Governmental Tort Liability seminar. The seminar provides an opportunity for professionals who do this important work or who are interested in this work to hear from leading litigators,
professors, and other industry experts who share valuable insights and strategies in defending claims against governmental entities. The success of this Committee and its annual seminar is based in large part on the quality and well-known reputations
of many of its speakers who come from a variety of backgrounds, including the top professors and professionals in the field.
We are always looking for new steering committee and seminar planning committee members. Currently we are working on a governmental attorney initiative to find ways to get public sector attorneys more engaged in our committee while recognizing the
budget constraints some of these attorneys may face.
Our success is realized through the invaluable support and unyielding efforts of our members. With assistance, we will continue to grow as the pre-eminent resource for tort liability exposures of governmental entities and their employees.
