MISSION STATEMENT: |
The purpose of the Construction Law Section of MSBA is to bring together Maryland lawyers who practice construction litigation or construction law related to real estate transactions practices with a variety of educational and social activities. The Section events should enhance the camaraderie and professionalism among construction law practitioners. Moreover, the Section’s sponsorship of educational programs, updates on developments in law and legislation, and written materials and resources for practitioners should promote a higher caliber of legal practice among Section members and across the Bar generally. |
