The Alaska Academy of Trial Lawyers is a nonprofit organization comprised of trial lawyers who represent the interests of people who have been injured or who have unfairly suffered due to the negligent action of others.  The Academy members also include those who represent criminal defendants.  Whether seeking just compensation for injuries, or securing the rights of criminal defendants, trial lawyers act as advocates for people like you, every day in courts all across Alaska.

Members of the Alaska Academy of Trial Lawyers, through the cases they bring on your behalf, advocate to help eliminate dangerous working conditions and faulty consumer products.  Each day, Alaskans benefit from the efforts of Alaska trial lawyers. Job sites are made safer, products are better designed, physicians take better care in their work, and prosecutors are made to prove their cases because of the efforts of Alaska trial lawyers.

Alaska trial lawyers make it possible for individuals to have their “day in court.” This means that individuals, no matter what their standing in the community, can have their cases heard and fairly judged. Courts are our most neutral and independent form of government giving all of us a peaceful way to resolve our disputes. We don’t think about or need our rights until we’ve been hurt or the government seeks to imprison us. It is at that point the reasons for our “legal rights” become evident.

Each day the Academy members put their professional finances and reputations on the line to represent the legal needs of those who have been injured or face imprisonment. Our system is made stronger, and our rights are preserved, because of the efforts of Academy members.
