SECTION OF LITIGATION COMMITTEES OF THE COUNCIL Jurisdictional Statements

Bylaws The Committee on Bylaws shall study, interpret, and make appropriate recommendations to the Council all proposals to amend the Bylaws, draft proposed by-laws provisions as directed by the Chair or Council of the Section, and interpret provisions of the By-laws upon request. Finance The Finance Committee of the Council is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations regarding the policies and procedures utilized with respect to identification and disposition or expenditure of the Section's revenues, including from current income, and assets. In addition, the Committee deals with special projects that may be assigned to it by the Chair or the Council, or that it may initiate on its own, from time to time, relating to these subjects. Non-Dues Revenue The Non-Dues Revenue Committee, chaired by the Revenue Officer, is comprised of certain members of the Council who are from time to time appointed at the discretion of the Chair-Elect. The purpose of the Committee is to serve as a clearing house for non-dues revenue initiatives and to provide a review function to ensure that the Section’s efforts are coordinated and that decisions comply with ABA and Section goals and policies. The Committee, in consultation with Section staff, is specifically charged with: 1) evaluating all non-dues revenue initiatives; 2) providing advice and a recommendation as to all such initiatives; and 3) providing a regular periodic review and report to the Council with respect to all non-dues revenue matters. Operations The Operations Committee reviews and reports on proposals to Council that fall outside the jurisdiction of other Council Committees. The Committee considers and reports on other matters concerning the operations of the Section not addressed by other committees, including, by way of example, the formation of new committees and the structure of Council meetings. The Operations Committee is available to handle other special requests or assignments made by the Chair or Council concerning the operations of the Section.

9

Publications The Publications Committee reviews and reports on publication efforts by Division II annually as part of the Council’s assessment of member benefits. The Committee is available to investigate and report to Council on matters concerning publications that may impact positions of the Section or otherwise affect the Section’s business and policies. The Committee stands ready to perform such other responsibilities relating to publications as the Chair or Council may request.

(b)

The standards for recusal set forth in paragraph 7.14 of these Bylaws shall govern in all elections of Section officers and Council members.

(c)

Only Council members with voting rights who are present in person at the meeting may vote.

7.10 VOTING PROCEDURES FOR ALL ELECTIONS. (a)

General: (1) Nominees for officer and Council positions may be selected by oral or secret written ballot, except that (i) in the event of a contested election, contested positions will be selected by secret written ballot using the method described below, and (ii) if any Council member requests a written ballot before a hand vote is taken, the election for the position then before the session will be by written ballot. Each contested election will be voted on separately. The Council will sit in Executive Session during these elections. (2) The members of the Advisory Committee will be selected by secret written ballot using the method described below.

(b)

Ballot Counting. To be elected as a Section officer, Council member, or Advisory Committee member, a nominee must receive a majority of the ballots cast. On each ballot, each eligible Council member may vote for as many candidates as there are positions. If any position is not filled on the first ballot, on the second ballot for the unfilled position the names of candidates receiving two or fewer votes will be eliminated. If any position is not filled on the second ballot, on the third ballot (and any subsequent ballot that may be necessary) a candidate for the contested position will be eliminated if the number of his/her votes, when added to the number of votes received by all other candidates whose vote totals are either equal to or less than the number of votes received by that given candidate, do not constitute a majority. (For example, if 10 votes are required for a majority and the remaining four candidates receive 8, 5, 3 and 3 votes respectively, the last two candidates’ names would be eliminated since the two together do not equal a majority. The candidate who received 5 votes would remain because 5 plus 3 plus 3 total more than the necessary majority.)

227

7.11 REPORT OF COUNCIL ACTION ON NOMINATIONS; UNEXPECTED VACANCIES. (a)

As a result of the elections held at the Winter Council Meeting, the Council will make one nomination for each open officer and Council member position to be filled by election. The nominations will be published to the Section’s members in Litigation News or otherwise, no later than June 15, or 45 days before the opening assembly of the Association’s Annual Meeting, whichever occurs first.

(b)

If, before the Section Annual Business Meeting, there is an unanticipated vacancy or a nominee is unavailable or declines to stand for election, the Council may make a nomination for each such position by majority vote. The procedures set forth in paragraph 7.10(b) of these Bylaws shall apply. The Executive Committee shall solicit and consider applications to fill the vacancy in a procedure it determines, which shall be similar to the Advisory Committee process.

7.12 ADDITIONAL NOMINATIONS BY MEMBER PETITION. Petitions for additional nominations for any officer or Council member position (“nominating petition”) may be submitted to the Section Chair in writing, signed by not less than 40 members of the Section, no more than eight of whom should be from any one state or the District of Columbia. The nominating petition will state that the nominee has agreed to be nominated and must include a completed application in the form required of candidates considered by the Advisory Committee as described in subparagraph 7.6(c) of these Bylaws. A nominating petition must be submitted to the Chair no later than August 1, or 10 days before the opening assembly of the Association’s Annual Meeting, whichever occurs first, and will be announced to the Section’s members at the Section Annual Business Meeting at the same time the report on the Council’s nominations is made and immediately preceding the elections. 7.13 VOTING PROCEDURES FOR ELECTIONS BY SECTION MEMBERS AT SECTION ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING.

A runoff election to choose between the two leading candidates will be held if a majority vote is not initially obtained.

(c)

If there are more than three candidates from a single state for a Council position, a vote to reduce the number to the three leading candidates will be held before the general vote for the open positions on the Council.

(d)

All elections will be by oral vote, or at the discretion of the Chair (or other presiding officer), by hand vote, except that if any Section member requests a written ballot before a hand vote is taken, the election for the position then before the session will be by written ballot.

228

7.14 RECUSAL OF MEMBERS OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL. (a)

A Council member who is a candidate, spouse, domestic partner, or is affiliated with the same law firm or employer company of any candidate (an “interested party”), shall be excluded from the Council meeting during the discussion in relation to the election in which that candidate is seeking office, and neither the candidate nor the interested party shall vote in the election for the office sought by that candidate.

(b)

(c)

ABA Section of Litigation Diversity Plan (Revised August 2008) Goal III* (formerly Goal IX) of the American Bar Association directs the Association “to promote the full and equal participation in the legal profession by women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and persons of differing sexual orientations and gender identities.” The ABA Section of Litigation strongly supports Goal III. It is committed to ensuring equal opportunity in the profession, respecting the diversity and individualism of its members, recognizing the intrinsic value of diversity in the legal profession, and expanding the breadth of its membership. The Section first adopted diversity as one of its strategic goals in its Strategic Plan of August 7, 1994. That Strategic Plan incorporated a core tenet of this Section and the lawyers it serves: “The legal profession will be open and hospitable to all.” The Strategic Plan contained an explicit goal to “Diversify Section membership and leadership and promote diversity in the legal profession.” In 2001, the Section adopted its first Diversity Implementation Plan. Working under that Plan, the Section implemented and maintained effective tactics for enhancing diversity and for meeting the needs and interests of diverse attorneys in the Section, with a strategic focus on lawyers of color, even though Goal III at the time also extended to women and disabled lawyers. The Section’s decision in 2001 to focus the Diversity Implementation Plan on lawyers of color recognized that women lawyers had attained more equal participation in the legal profession and in Section Leadership than lawyers of color. The 2001 Plan succeeded in increasing participation of lawyers of color in the Section in general and in the Section’s Leadership in particular. But the work was far from done. In 2005 and 2006, the Section Council’s Diversity Committee and Staff reviewed the 2001 Plan, assessed what was working, what was not, what had been achieved, and what required redoubled efforts. The Committee and Staff also analyzed the plans and initiatives of other ABA entities to develop additional ideas and share best practices. The Committee identified a crucial policy choice: whether to maintain the Section’s focus on lawyers of color or to broaden its diversity efforts. Based on input from the Section’s Leadership, consensus emerged: (1) there was much yet _____________________________ *Changed to Goal III following adoption of new ABA Mission and Goals by House of Delegates in August 2008. to be done on behalf of lawyers of color, and any expansion of the Section’s diversity effort should not erode that commitment; and (2) the Section needed to take a leadership role on other diversity issues limiting full participation in the profession, including disability, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. 232

The Section’s Council voted in January 2007 to support a proposal from the Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities to add sexual orientation and gender identity to Goal III. The amendment passed the ABA House of Delegates in February 2007. In August 2007, the Council adopted the Diversity Plan in its current structure, both reaffirming its unwavering strategic focus on lawyers of color by improving and enhancing the tactics aimed at lawyers of color in its 2001 Diversity Implementation Plan and adding strategies targeted to all of the characteristics identified in Goal III. The Plan emphasizes the importance of a well-developed strategy, specific time lines and calendars, and individual accountability within the Section. All Section Leaders have diversity responsibilities and requirements for reporting that they have been fulfilled. Accountability runs throughout the Leadership and to the Chair and Executive Director. The Diversity Plan categorizes action items into six areas: Leadership Commitment; Accountability; Communications and Training; Membership; Programs and Publications; and Outreach. Many of the particular items overlap but have been placed into a single category for ease of reference The Plan is structured in five accountability grids. When a particular strategy is appropriate for all aspects of diversity, it is set forth in the Diversity Implementation Plan Regarding All Goal III Characteristics, the first accountability grid. A cookie-cutter approach is not appropriate, however, for all characteristics identified in Goal III . The strategies proven successful for lawyers of color may not be well suited for addressing diversity with respect to sexual orientation or disability. The Diversity Plan therefore sets out a separate accountability grid for each of the four Goal III characteristics, each with action items tailored to diversity efforts appropriate to that characteristic and to the experience of the Section in addressing it. In September 2007, the Section adopted an update to its strategic plan titled “The Section at 40.” This forward-looking document commands the Section to broadly diversify its membership and leadership, and makes measurement and evaluation of success in implementing this Diversity Plan an essential strategy in the pursuit of the preeminence as the membership organization in the profession for litigators. The Section of Litigation is proud of its position as a leader in the ABA and in the profession. It counts among its members some of the most renowned and dedicated lawyers in the nation. The goal of enhanced diversity can be achieved only with the unequivocal support and participation of these leaders, the Section’s Leadership and its Committees and Task Forces, and the individual commitment of all Section members. The Section pledges to use its resources and the dedication it has brought to other important issues to ensure the full, equal participation of diverse lawyers in the ABA and the profession. The Diversity Plan ensures that the Section of Litigation will continue to lead the ABA and put in place best practices for all Goal III characteristics with a systematic periodic review and, if necessary, further revisions. Pursuant to this systematic review, the plan has undergone further refinements, especially in the accountability grid regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (“LGBT”) attorneys. The Plan in 2007 created an LGBT Working Group to investigate and

233

make recommendations regarding the integration of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (“LGBT”) lawyers into the Section and to explore and create programming regarding LGBT legal issues. The LGBT Working Group recommended creation of the LGBT Litigator Committee within the Section, and the Council adopted that recommendation in June 2008. The Section of Litigation enthusiastically adopts this 2008 Diversity Plan.
