About Our Association

Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association

The Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association (WPTLA) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on June 19, 1992,
however the organization has a long and proud history. WPTLA has had a continuing presence in Western Pennsylvania since the mid
1960′s and is in fact the parent of the statewide trial lawyers’ organization, Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association (PaTLA).
It was first named the Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association and was the brainchild of trial luminaries, Murray S. Love and Milt
Rosenberg. The University of Pittsburgh Murray S. Love Moot Court Competition and Award is named in Love’s honor.
