Mission Statement

Membership in the Missouri Organization of Defense Lawyers is open to Missouri lawyers who devote a substantial amount of their time to the representation of defendants and potential defendants in civil litigation either as trial lawyers or as lawyers otherwise directly involved with the defense of civil litigation.

The purpose of the Missouri Organization of Defense Lawyers shall be:

To take appropriate action where possible to insure that defendants in our civil justice system receive fair and impartial treatment by juries, the judiciary and the legislature;
To enhance the knowledge and improve the skill of its members;
To cooperate with other groups in promoting seminars, lectures and other educational opportunities in matters of common legal interest to the bar and/or the public;
To promote among all lawyers involved in civil litigation the highest standards of professionalism and to encourage civility and courtesy in the conduct of trials and related proceedings;
To develop collegiality and camaraderie among its members.
