Security
The American Association for Justice implements commercially reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access, unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. We allow certain individuals or partner organizations access to member information. They use the information to operate, develop, or improve our services. These individuals or partner organizations are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and civil and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

AAJ regularly e-mails members with legislative news or information about AAJ products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. In addition, sometimes AAJ sends offers via e-mail to selected groups of AAJ members on behalf of certain non-affiliated businesses whose products or services may be of interest. When we do this, we do not give that company your e-mail address, your name, or any other information that identifies you personally. AAJ stores members' e-mail addresses on our in-house database. AAJ may release member e-mail addresses to affiliated state trial lawyer organizations.

With each e-mail sent from AAJ, members are given the opportunity to opt out of receiving this type of e-mail message in the future.
