The Inner Circle of Advocates is an organization of civil plaintiff trial lawyers in the United States. To qualify for an invitation, members must have won a physical injury or death case with a million-dollar verdict.[1][2] The group only admitted male members until 1990, when Judith Livingston became the first female member.[3]
