The ACCL is a national organization of lawyers who have demonstrated skill, experience and high standards of professional and ethical conduct in the practice, or in the teaching, of construction law, and who are dedicated to excellence in the specialized practice of construction law.

The College provides advanced professional workshops and educational programs to its Fellows and identifies and contributes to the solution of major construction industry legal problems. It is a collegial forum for the exchange and development of ideas by some of the most knowledgeable attorneys in construction law.

The official law Journal of the American College of Construction Lawyers is published by Thomson Reuters Publishing and may be ordered online here. The Journal is also on Westlaw, and issues may be viewed and searched in the Westlaw database ACCLJ. Published twice annually, the Journal's articles advance the reader's understanding of complex legal issues in the design and construction of our built environment. The Journal's articles contain original and innovative thought, and endure the test of time. Contact the Editor-in-Chief, Holt Gwyn, ahgwyn@cgspllc.com.

The College is planning to host its next symposium on the construction industry in the near future. That symposium will build on the College symposia held in November 2006 and November 2009 in conjunction with Princeton University’s School of Engineering. The final topics, date and venue for the symposium will be announced in this spot soon. Contact the Chair of the symposium committee, Deborah Ballati, at dballati@fbm.com, with any questions.
