An opinion piece in the Santa Fe New Mexican recently criticized civil plaintiff attorneys for participating in our citizen legislature.

Let’s clear up the noise: New Mexico relies on a citizen legislature where professionals from all backgrounds—including law, medicine, education, and business—bring real-world experience to the table.

Our members don't fight for "control"; we fight for everyday New Mexicans, ensuring that regular families have a voice when up against powerful corporate interests and insurance companies.

A fair civil justice system only works when every voice has a seat at the table.

Justice Matters. We Fight For It.

Criticism of the legal profession will not change our commitment to protecting constitutional rights and preserving access to justice for all New Mexicans.
