| About the Auto Torts Section |
|
The Auto Torts Section exists as a network of support for attorneys who litigate motor vehicle personal injury cases. The Auto Torts Section is one of the Academy’s largest and most active sections, with a well-populated and utilized email listserv.
The Auto Torts listserv is certainly the most active listserv of any Academy section. As one member stated, "Each time [a particular user] weighs in on an issue, it's like being in a classroom. For anyone who has friends who qualify for this list, you really should encourage them to join. It is a CLE everyday. ...[N]ot every state enjoys this camaraderie."

| Section Certification |
|
In order to join the Academy's Auto Torts Section, you must be able to sign the following certification:
I certify that I meet the following membership criteria of the Auto Torts Section of the NCATL and that I will immediately notify the Chair of the Auto Torts Section if I no longer meet these criteria:
Auto Torts Section membership is limited to NCATL members engaged in representing plaintiffs in motor vehicle personal injury cases. Membership is limited to those who do not and whose firms do not participate in the defense of motor vehicle personal injury claims unless approved for membership by the section Chair. Motor vehicle personal injury claims include claims for sickness, bodily injury (physical and mental) and wrongful death that arise out of a motor vehicle claim, but do not include counterclaims.
Further, I certify that should either I or members of my firm undertake participation in the defense of motor vehicle personal injury claims, I agree to immediately notify the Chair of the Auto Torts Section, and I understand that my membership in the section and/or participation on the listserv may continue only with the specific approval of the section chair. I understand no exceptions will be allowed to participation on the listserv if a member of the Auto Torts Section represents a claimant in the claim being defended, unless the member of the Auto Torts Section representing the plaintiff consents in writing, and neither I, nor a member of my firm, represent an insurance company in the defense of the motor vehicle personal injury claim. I understand reinstatement requests shall be made to the section Chair.
Further, I certify that I will not forward or otherwise distribute Auto Torts Listserv messages to non-members of the Auto Torts Section. These messages are intended for the exclusive use of Auto Torts Section members representing plaintiffs in civil actions. Messages may not be furnished to a defendant, defense interest, or any other person not assisting in your case, except as required under the law. If the materials are sought in discovery, I will oppose the discovery, and contact the Chair of the Auto Torts Section.
