*Membership Statement

Yes, I want to be a part of SATLA and the List Server. In support of my membership, I submit the following: I am currently licensed to practice law in at least one state of the United States of America. In addition, neither I nor anyone with whom I practice regularly represents insurance companies or corporations in personal injury claims or claims brought by individuals. I affirm that I and my firm are aware of, and are in full compliance with, the Barratry Statute (38.12 Texas Penal Code). And, neither I nor my firm knowingly obtains cases directly or indirectly from companies or individuals that solicit cases in contravention of the statue and/or in any manner that is not allowed for attorneys.

I am hereby applying for membership in SATLA. If accepted as a member, I agree to abide by the By-Laws of the Association.

I further agree, under penalty of expulsion, to keep confidential all communications between fellow members regarding case selection, trial strategy, judges or other judicial officers, clients, opposing counsel, and the like. Confidential information is shared by SATLA members with other SATLA members for the sole and express purpose of rendering legal assistance to clients. SATLA members receiving confidential information about another member's case or client are consulting experts as that term is defined in the applicable rules of civil procedure or evidence. Thus, the information shared or developed during brainstorming, the discussion of legal strategy or issues, or the rendition of legal advice is privileged from disclosure to anyone outside the consulting experts' group. No SATLA member may waive this privilege for another member's case or client. Dues to professional associations are normally deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses; however, the portion of dues related to lobbying is not deductible. We recommend that 95% of the dues are deductible, as 5% of the dues go toward administrating the PAC. As always, we suggest you consult your tax attorney or tax advisor for further details. Contributions or gifts to SATLA and SATLA PAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for Federal Income Tax purposes.

I agree to the above membership statement.
