More than just law!
Seeing an opportunity to expand horizons, twelve young German and one US-American lawyer founded the German-American Lawyers' Association (DAJV) in 1975. Since that day, the DAJV has promoted and cultivated interest in US and German law brought to us by the academic studies, professional activities and journeys of our numerous members.
The DAJV is a vibrant association of over 2,500 members from law, industry and society-at-large, who are offered
- Organization of and participation in different Expert Groups
- Regular lectures and discussion events
- Transatlantic Law Journal (TLJ)
- Transatlantic Law Blog (TLB)
- Seminars
- Regular meetings, e.g. the Annual Conference, Transatlantic Legal Conference (TLC) and Thanksgiving Dinner(s)
- A hugely successful Internship Service for students and trainee lawyers
- A Mentoring program for young lawyers
- The Student Division, and
- A division for Young Professionals
The Executive Committee of the DAJV is composed of the members of the central executive committee and regional director members that also represent the association in Germany and locations throughout the U.S.
Our office in Bonn-Bad Godesberg supports the Executive Committee in its work, still from the city in which the association was founded.
