Construction Law Committee's 2011 Kick-Off Event
Thursday, January 13, 2011
Advanced Alternative Dispute Resolution in Complex Construction Disputes
Join us for a panel discussion on effective strategies for mediation and arbitration. Our panelists, who have significant experience mediating and arbitrating complex construction disputes as counsel or as arbitrators, will discuss different approaches to alternative dispute resolution and provide an insider's view of what works and what does not.

MISSION STATEMENT:

The purpose of the Construction Law Committee of MSBA is to bring together Maryland lawyers who practice construction litigation or construction law related to real estate transactions practices with a variety of educational and social activities. The Committee events should enhance the camaraderie and professionalism among construction law practitioners. Moreover, the Committee's sponsorship of educational programs, updates on developments in law and legislation, and written materials and resources for practitioners should promote a higher caliber of legal practice among Committee members and across the Bar generally.

2009/2010 ANNUAL REPORT:

This Committee was created by MSBA's Board of Governors in November 2009 to better include the many construction lawyers who are litigators and to increase the profi le of the Committee to the membership of the Bar. It sponsored a kickoff reception in January, where it distributed a summary of recent case law and proposed Maryland legislation, and held educational programs in March and May. The Committee will continue its efforts to reach out to many construction lawyers who have not been active through networking, programs and educational materials that are relevant and useful to construction law practitioners and will present a general construction law program for judges and practitioners at the MSBA Annual Meeting.
