Preparing for Induction
As indicated in your invitation letter, you must attend one of the three subsequent national meetings of the College to be officially inducted as a Fellow. Our Spring and Annual Meetings are held in top-notch locales and feature speakers you are unlikely to hear anywhere else. Fellows are encouraged to bring a spouse or guest to our national meetings, as our speakers are interesting to lawyers and non-lawyers alike, and there is time set aside for custom tours and sightseeing. Our Saturday night black-tie induction banquet is the place where we will celebrate you and your accomplishments, and welcome you as a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.
