The Student Chapter of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association is dedicated to providing an opportunity for students interested in a career as trial lawyers and to begin the process of learning about those aspects of the legal profession related to representing plaintiffs in civil litigation. Additionally, SGTLA will provide its members opportunities to attend specialized educational programs, to network with practicing plaintiff's lawyers, and to work in conjunction with the GTLA to strengthen and preserve Georgia's Civil Justice System and the rights of Georgia's citizens and consumers to access the courts to resolve tort claims.
