Inns of Court

The American Inns of Court, America’s oldest, largest, and fastest-growing legal mentoring organization, is firmly rooted in the noble 800-year-old tradition of the Inns of Court in England.

For over 20 years, American Inns of Court have provided judges, lawyers, and law students an opportunity to participate actively in developing a deeper sense of professionalism, achieving higher levels of excellence, and furthering the practice of law with dignity and integrity.

Regular local meetings of American Inns of Court provide a collegial atmosphere that encourages networking between all members, mentoring and skills development, and the exchange of concepts, ideas, and techniques.

The goal of the American Inns of Court is to raise the standard of the legal profession. Outside the courtroom and formal training, veteran, seasoned professionals can share their wisdom and insight with less-experienced practitioners, individually or in small groups. Focused on the development of skills, Inn programs provide creative, practical, and interactive instruction in all areas of legal practice. By participating in these programs, members gain the double benefits of teaching as well as learning.

As a member of the American Inns of Court, you will join with local judges and lawyers dedicated to restoring the nobility and ideals of the legal profession in a hands-on, practical way — and you will be part of over 23,000 like-minded professionals nationwide who proudly realize the rewards and benefits of membership and enjoy the support that a strong, national organization provides.

Through membership in the American Inns of Court, you can make a lasting contribution to preserving an ethical, civil, and professional bench and bar for future generations.
