Williams & Connolly partner Rob Cary has become a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in North America.
The induction ceremony took place before an audience of approximately 570 persons during the recent 2016 Spring Meeting of the College in Maui, Hawaii. During the ceremony, Cary delivered the induction speech on behalf of the forty-nine new Fellows. His speech was recently published in the summer issue of the ACTL Journal.
Founded in 1950, the College is composed of the best of the trial bar from the United States and Canada. Fellowship in the College is extended by invitation only and only after careful investigation, to those experienced trial lawyers of diverse backgrounds, who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility and collegiality. Lawyers must have a minimum of fifteen years trial experience before they can be considered for Fellowship.
