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.
