Stephen and Andrew Skinner recently traveled to sunny Miami, Florida, to attend the American Association for Justice (AAJ) Winter Convention. This annual event, also known as the AAJ Miami Convention, gathers plaintiffs’ attorneys from across the nation to discuss the latest developments in trial advocacy, legal strategy, and specialized topics relevant to personal injury and civil justice cases.
The convention allowed Stephen and Andrew to continue their commitment to professional growth and ensure they provide the best possible representation for their clients. Attending seminars and discussions provided insights into legal trends, case strategies, and courtroom techniques.
Earning CLE Credits
One key aspect of the conference was earning Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits. Every lawyer must complete several CLE hours yearly to stay up-to-date with legal developments, law changes, and best advocacy practices. Through engaging workshops and in-depth presentations, Stephen and Andrew expanded their legal knowledge and strengthened their litigation skills.
Stephen’s Leadership in AAJ
Beyond attending educational sessions, Stephen actively participated in several national committee meetings. As a AAJ Board and Executive Committee member, he is deeply involved in shaping policies and initiatives that impact plaintiffs’ attorneys nationwide. His leadership position allows him to advocate for legal reforms that protect injured individuals and ensure their access to justice.
Stephen’s ongoing work with AAJ underscores his dedication to the legal profession and his commitment to standing up for those who have been wrongfully injured. His involvement at the national level means that he is staying informed on key issues and helping to drive meaningful change within the legal community.
A Productive and Refreshing Trip
The conference provided learning and networking, while Stephen and Andrew enjoyed a break from winter cold. Miami’s warm temperatures and beautiful scenery provided a welcome contrast to the chilly weather back home.
Beyond the sunshine, the convention offered renewed energy and fresh perspectives. Both brothers left with a sharper sense of focus and new ideas on how to better serve their clients, refine their trial strategies, and stay ahead in a constantly evolving legal landscape.
Continuing education and professional development remain a priority for the Skinner team. Attending the AAJ convention helps them improve skills, stay informed, and connect with the legal community.
Looking Ahead
Stephen and Andrew returned from Miami with valuable takeaways, new connections, and a strong sense of purpose. They remain dedicated to fighting for justice and providing top-tier legal representation to those in need. With refreshed knowledge and high motivation, they look forward to applying what they’ve learned in their practice.
