The Maryland Association for Justice is dedicated to improving the civil justice system through legislative advocacy and the professional and ethical development of attorneys who represent the injured. Founded in 1954 by a small group of trial attorneys, MAJ was first known as the Maryland Plaintiff's Bar Association. As an unincorporated organization, this small group of lawyers held monthly meetings, invited guest speakers and spent many hours discussing trial tactics, settlement strategies, various points of law and legislative activity in Annapolis. Later, the Association incorporated as a non-profit, professional association and renamed itself the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association while developing a cooperative relationship with the American Association for Justice (AAJ). On October 29, 2008, the Association changed its name from the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association to the Maryland Association for Justice, Inc.
