The Workers' Compensation Section represents both plaintiff and defense attorneys on its council and addresses both perspectives in its newsletter. The Workers' Compensation Section appoints a representative to meet periodically with the Industrial Commission to review issues of interest to member attorneys.

The section, with currently 688 members, sponsors CLE programs and services; provides members with a substantive newsletter; and helps mold the association's legislative agenda for presentation to the N.C. General Assembly. The newsletter, the Course and Scope, offers an index of its articles and CLE topics.
