A great summer convention we encourage our attorneys to attend is the AAJ Annual Convention. This year's convention will be held in Vancouver, and will certainly be one of the best attended to date.
Bringing the top trial lawyers from across the country together, the convention is a great opportunity to network and learn about the latest litigation developments.
Thinking about attending?
AAJ has an excellent blog to give you all of the latest news and information on the convention.
Attorneys, be sure to attend the Women Trial Lawyers Caucus Reception and the Minority Caucus Reception - both are sponsored by KPA, and are two of the best attended events!
Putting its values in action is central to what makes Khorrami Pollard & Abir unique and successful as a plaintiff firm. “An essential part of our values as a firm is meaningful engagement in issues important to our firm and our profession,” says KPA founding partner Shawn Khorrami.
Press releases issued today illustrate the firm’s commitment to essential social services, and to professional development for women in plaintiff law.
Shawn Khorrami, founding partner of the firm, has been elected to the Board of Directors of AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA), one of the largest non-profit AIDS service organizations in the country. His dedication to promoting public health and welfare is apparent not only through this accomplishment, but through his firm’s continued successes over large pharmaceutical companies who have wrongfully injured individuals across the country.
Bahar Dejban, an associate at the firm, has been named to the Board of Governors of the New Lawyers Division of the American Association for Justice (AAJ). Her dedication and role as a leader within AAJ has set precedent for other plaintiff attorneys across the country.

Shawn Khorrami, founding partner of Khorrami Pollard & Abir LLP (KPA), has been appointed to serve as an at-large member of the American Association for Justice’s (AAJ) Diversity Taskforce. The taskforce will be responsible for examining the full spectrum of diversity in the AAJ, with the objective of developing and implementing a Diversity Plan that addresses the needs and expectations of the full membership. Areas of focus will include membership recruitment and retention, organizational activities and leadership.
Chaired by incoming Parliamentarian Rhonda Hill Wilson, the Taskforce will include delegates from the AAJ’s Minority Caucus, Women’s Trial Lawyer Caucus and New Lawyers Division, as well as several at-large members.
“It’s gratifying to be asked to serve on a Taskforce with such an important mission, and I look forward to working with such an accomplished group of colleagues,” said Khorrami. “Issues of diversity and inclusion are reshaping our society and the law, so it is essential for our profession to incorporate policies and practices that reflect these fundamental changes into our professional organizations and development programs.”
KPA recently sponsored the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC) and the American Association for Justice (AAJ) Women’s Caucus Networking Reception, coinciding with the AAJ 2009 Annual Convention.
