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]

The group was conceived and founded by Richard Grand in 1972. Membership is limited to 100 lawyers at any one time.[1][4]
