2026 Bibb Allen Memorial Trial Academy

Online registration is now open!

New this year, the program will be held at the Hugo L. Black United States Courthouse in Birmingham.

This immersive program is designed to help newer associates become trial-ready while also sharpening the skills of attorneys who haven’t been in the courtroom recently.

In addition to an updated format, the program will feature the return of voir dire and introduce the use of technology in the courtroom. On Thursday, participants will learn from some of Alabama’s top civil defense trial attorneys as they present on key trial skills. On Friday, participants will put those skills into practice by presenting their case from start to finish in a simulated trial setting. Click here to visit the event page.

This year, in committing to ADLA, 900 members strengthened the foundation of the association and became part of the groundwork for our future members to continue advancing and innovating the practice of civil defense litigation. Join or Renew
