On March 8th Ryan Ryan Deluca’s managing partner, Robert O. Hickey, was sworn in as a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers during their 2024 Annual Meeting at Ojai, California.
The IATL was founded in 1954 and is recognized as the most prestigious organization of trial lawyers in the world. Fellowship in IATL is by invitation only. Trial lawyers become Fellows only after an extremely rigorous vetting process, which includes both peer and judicial review. The Academy seeks our Fellows who have achieved a career of excellence as shown by their skills in trial, and as demonstrated by their integrity and professionalism. The Academy limits Fellowship to 500 active trial attorneys from the Unites States and includes over 150 Fellows from 40 different countries.
