The Honorable Marie White Bell American Inn of Court

In 2007, Joan M. Burke, then President of the Association of Black Women Lawyers of New Jersey appointed a committee to explore the possibility of creating a new chapter of the American Inns of Court. Her vision was to create a learning environment for fellow attorneys to improve their legal acumen while developing a strong sense of ethics and fostering collegiality.

To that end, the Anne E. Thompson American Inn of Court was formed. The Inn’s Executive Committee determined that the name of the Inn should be changed every ten years in order to honor jurists who have made significant contributions to the legal profession and community at large, and in 2018, it was renamed the Marie White Bell American Inn of Court.
