2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the ABA Forum on Construction Law. Throughout the past 40 years, the Forum has prided itself on its seminars, books and periodicals, and on its leadership on legal issues affecting the construction industry. Befitting a meeting in Nashville, the Forum has chosen to commemorate its 40th anniversary by assembling a program of the Forum’s “Greatest Hits.” The meeting will welcome back many of the Forum’s most popular past programs and presenters to reprise their presentations with new and interesting updates. These include the Ethics of Social Media; Risk Management and Insurance Coverage Issues; Payment-Related Provisions; the Inside/Outside Counsel Relationship; an Analysis of the AIA A201General Conditions; and Defective Work, Effective Litigation. They have also added some “bonus tracks” — programs that have not yet been seen before, but that represent the programming for which the Forum is known. The program will kick off with a session examining the development of construction law over the past 40 years from some of the Forum’s leaders who have been a part of its evolution.
