Commercial Courts: A National Forum 2026

The strength of America's economy depends on markets, capital, and innovation. It also relies on courts that can resolve complex business disputes fairly, efficiently, and with confidence. As commercial litigation grows more sophisticated and emerging technologies reshape the business landscape, courts play an increasingly vital role in supporting economic growth, investment, predictability, and public trust. Across the country, specialized business and commercial courts are evolving to meet these challenges, creating new pathways for resolving disputes that matter to everyone. This national forum brings together chief justices, business court judges, corporate counsel, private practitioners, academics, and international thought leaders to examine the future of commercial justice. Attendees will hear directly from judicial leaders, explore how courts are adapting to complex disputes and emerging technologies, gain insight into the relationship between effective state courts, business confidence, and economic growth, and join a national conversation about the future of commercial justice in the United States and abroad.
