Pang Parra Elected Chair of the AAJ Minority Caucus"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Justinian & Associates<\/a> is pleased to announce that our very own Amber M. Pang Parra<\/a> has been elected Chair of the American Association for Justice\u2019s Minority Caucus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with her new leadership role, Amber was also appointed to the organization\u2019s Committee on the Judiciary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Amber may have some challenging new work ahead of her, she is no stranger to the AAJ\u2019s mission: she still serves as Secretary of the Civil Rights Division, and is co-chair of the Allergan Biocell Breast Implant Litigation Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American Association for Justice<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The American Association for Justice (AAJ)<\/a> is a decades-old non-profit advocacy and lobbying organization, founded to \u201cpromote a fair and effective justice system\u201d by protecting and preserving plaintiffs\u2019 Seventh Amendment right to trial by jury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AAJ is the largest trial bar in the world, boasting more than 56,000 members, most of whom are based in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the AAJ provides valuable resources to member-attorneys<\/a>\u2014from networking opportunities to its own referral system\u2014it does some of its best work in the public sphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadly, the organization seeks to empower everyday Americans: its foremost missions<\/a> include some of the most popular political initiatives in modern politics, from abolishing forced corporate arbitration to ensuring that trucking and transportation logistics<\/a> companies carry enough insurance to keep everyone on the road safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AAJ Minority Caucus Chair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The AAJ also seeks to empower attorneys and plaintiffs of all different backgrounds. As the newly-elected chair of the Association\u2019s Minority Caucus<\/a>, Amber will take a leading role connecting experienced attorneys with minority communities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Minority Caucus has more than a thousand active members, it is among the American Association for Justice\u2019s most engaged, outward-facing caucuses<\/a>: it has continued to champion civil, consumer, and criminal justice<\/a>, even amidst the hardships of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the Caucus\u2019s biggest priorities is public service, with Caucus members devoting tens of thousands of free hours to deserving clients and causes each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amber M. Pang Parra is a Warrior For The Injured<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Amber has long been a proponent of the Caucus\u2019s mission, which encourages attorneys to engage with people outside their ordinary client bases, fostering strong communities from the bottom-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committee on the Judiciary<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alongside winning election as Chair for the American Association for Justice\u2019s Minority Caucus, Amber\u2019s colleagues have entrusted her with another important position: a post on the organization\u2019s Committee on the Judiciary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Judiciary Committee has many priorities, the Committee\u2019s principal concern is the federal judiciary.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Amber and the other committee appointments spearhead research, analyses, and advocacy on all aspects of the federal judiciary, from fair client representation to procedural equity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Judiciary Committee appointee, Amber has a big responsibility: helping identify potential federal judicial candidates<\/a>, pushing for their nomination, and advocating their confirmation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The American Association for Justice has made its presence known in the public sphere, too: as trial lawyers, the group\u2019s leadership, caucuses, and committees have spoken out<\/a> against police brutality and other law enforcement misconduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Secretary of the AAJ\u2019s Civil Rights Division, Amber has taken a firm stance against misconduct of all kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, Amber expects her role as Civil Rights secretary to tie into her new appointments with the Minority Caucus and Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
