John
F. McCormick, Jr. has become a Fellow of the American College of
Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associates in America.
The
induction ceremony at which Mr. McCormick became a Fellow took place
on April 8, 2006 during the recent 2006 Spring Meeting of the
college in Hollywood, Florida
Founded
in 1950, the College is composed of the best of the trial bar from
the United States and Canada. Fellowship in the college is
extended by invitation only and only after careful investigation,
to those experienced trial lawyers who have mastered the art of advocacy
and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest
standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility and collegiality.
Lawyers must have a minimum of fifteen years trial experience
before they can be considered for Fellowship.
Membership
in the College cannot exceed one percent of the total lawyer
population of any state or province. There are currently
approximately 5,500 members in the United States and Canada,
including active Fellows, Emeritus Fellows, Judicial Fellows
(those who ascended to the bench after their induction) and
Honorary Fellows.
