1A Generic American Inn of Court

 

Chief Justice Warren Burger

The American Inns of Court movement was founded in 1980 at the urging of then-Chief Justice Warren Burger. Loosely modeled on its English counterpart, an American Inn of Court is a group of judges and attorneys (and, in some Inns, professors of law and law students) who meet periodically to discuss issues of interest to the legal community, emphasizing professionalism, ethics and civility in the practice of law. Collegiality is another benefit of the Inn of Court, which provides members the opportunity to become acquainted with prominent local attorneys and judges.
