Lawyers from across the country are in Atlanta this week for the American Bar Association Litigation Section’s annual conference, and that includes the ABA’s leader.

“I think this is the prime example of everything the ABA has to offer,” ABA President Deborah Enix-Ross said in an interview at the Loews Atlanta Hotel, which is hosting the event. “You get the leading lawyers in their profession, coming together to not only discuss but in some ways [also] create new opportunities in the law to think about best practices. Then they take that knowledge and go back to their home jurisdictions and then are able to help improve the legal profession.
