Substantive Law Sections

Substantive law sections, established in fields of law and practice that are material to the interests and professional activities of the membership, meet regularly during the Winter and Annual Meetings of the Federation. Between meetings, section members conduct their assigned activities and maintain a close working relationship. Periodic publication of section newsletters enhances this relationship. New sections and committees are added as new areas of claims and practice emerge.
