Welcome to the American Inns of Court webpage for the C. Willard
Heckel American Inn of Court at Rutgers Law School in Newark, New
Jersey.
The C. Willard Heckel Inn of Court was founded in 1990 to
further civility and excellence in the practice of law in New
Jersey in both the state and federal courts. The Inn's core focus
is on criminal and related civil practice in both the federal and
state court systems, although many of its programs involve issues
of broader appeal to the bar.
The Inn brings together highly experienced and
distinguished justices, judges, trial attorneys, members of the
bar, and Rutgers Law School students to enhance their skills and
focus on emerging and important issues facing the bar and bench.
Sponsored by Rutgers Law School, the Inn holds 2-hour meetings at
the law school in Newark, followed by dinner. The Inn's programs
qualify for over 12 continuing legal education credit hours,
including ethics credits in New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania.
