Thank you to those who attended our Annual Awards Dinner in Montgomery. We were pleased to award Trial Judge of the Year to Judge Seay and Judge Roberts, as well as formally introduce our new members Megan McCarthy, Mark Debro, and Todd Huntley.

Nominees now need a minimum of 7 civil jury trials AND 100 points to be eligible for ABOTA membership. Please see the graphic below which outlines how points are awarded.

New member nominations are accepted until May 1st of each year to allow the Membership Committee to fully vet the candidate. After this date, the nomination will be considered the following calendar year. 

To nominate a new member, fill out the Sponsor Nomination Form and submit it to nicole@abota-al.org. Nicole will reach out to the nominee for additional information for the vetting process.

Nominees who pass the vetting process will be voted on by the Chapter membership in the late summer. Those receiving at least 75% approval will be contacted to submit their application to National by the fall deadline.
