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. 

2010/2011 ANNUAL REPORT:

The Construction Law Committee continued its substantial growth in the number of interested practitioners signing on in 2011. The Committee had several events, beginning with a hot topics /happy hour in Annapolis in September, followed by a well received ADR discussion panel and dinner in January, 2011. In March, the Committee travelled to Frederick to present a breakfast seminar on Bankruptcy, Liens and Receivership, and rounded out the year with another hot topics/ networking meet in Baltimore County in May. The Committee sponsors relevant Maryland legislative updates, which continue to be a much appreciated and well received resource for all of the members. This year, the Committee helped sponsor the writing of a Construction Law Deskbook, with many of the members drafting chapters of the book and other members acting as editors. The Committee is becoming a Section of the MSBA in June at the Annual Meeting. A Construction Law program will be presented there as well as a program on ADR in construction cases, which is co-sponsored with the ADR Section. A very active group of members on the organizing committee made all the Committee's work possible. Many thanks to them. The Committee will continue its efforts to reach out to judges and lawyers through networking, programs and educational materials that will benefit their construction law understanding and practice.
