Kentucky Justice Association (KJA)

About the KJA

Overview

  • Founded: 1954
  • Location: Louisville, Kentucky

Mission and History

The Kentucky Justice Association (KJA) was founded in 1954. Today, the organization has grown to nearly 1,400 members and evolved into a strong political voice for individual and consumer rights.

The KJA seeks to improve the legal profession by educating Kentucky personal injury lawyers and other attorneys as a professional organization. It also performs advocacy by lobbying the Legislature for access to justice and consumer rights, and against so-called "tort reform" efforts that limit the right to a jury. The KJA also has a political arm that may make campaign expenditures for and against candidates.

The KJA is committed to educating consumers about their rights and training trial lawyers through quality continuing legal education (CLE) seminars.
