Policy Regarding Payment for Dues and
Meals:
Statements for the term's dues and meals are sent to members via
e-mail prior to the beginning of the Inn year and are due 30 days
from the date of the invoice.
Attendance Policy:
To retain membership in the Inn, members may not miss more than
two meetings during the term. Members who miss more than two
meetings during the term may be removed from our rolls. It is
imperative that members sign the attendance sheet at each monthly
meeting.
R.S.V.P. Policy:
Members are expected to respond promptly invitations to the
Opening and Closing banquets so an accurate number can be given to
the caterer.
Mentoring Policy:
Members are expected to actively participate in mentor groups.
C.L.E. Policy:
Members may receive one hour C.L.E. credit for attendance at each
monthly Inn program if the program complies with M.C.L.E.
guidelines, which appear in the Inn handbook. To receive this
credit, members must sign the attendance sheet at each monthly
meeting and stay for the program. Direct any questions to the
C.L.E. Co-Chairs.
Policy Regarding Guests:
Out of respect for encouraging all members' open discussion and
interaction, members are generally discouraged, but not prohibited,
from bringing guests to meetings. If you do plan to bring a guest,
you must contact the Catering Coordinators and pay for their meal
($12). Members are encouraged to bring guests to the Closing
Banquet.
Policy Regarding Membership
Handbook:
Some Inn members provided confidential information for directory
listings. The Masters voted against using such information for
purposes other than Inn business. Unauthorized use or distribution
by Inn members of information in the handbook could result in
termination of membership.
Policy Regarding Nominations for Membership in the
Inn:
Any member of our Inn may submit nominations at any time to the
Inn Membership Chair. Nomination forms for lawyers, judges,
and OCU and OU law students (who will be entering their third or
fourth year next September) can be found in the Inn handbook or on
this web site. Nominations received throughout the year will
be filed, then reviewed when the Membership Selection Committee
convenes in January. At this time, it appears that we will need
nominations for Pupils, Associates, Barristers and Judges for our
next term. Although nominations for Masters will be accepted and
reviewed, at this time openings in the Masters category appear
doubtful.
Policy Regarding Name Badges:
Name badges will be purchased at the first meeting of the term.
They will be worn at each meeting and returned to the sign-in table
at the end of each meeting. If lost or misplaced, replacements must
be purchased prior to the next meeting through the Inn
Administrator.
Policy Regarding Diversity:
The Ginsburg Inn of Court is committed to the Diversity Policy of
the American Inns of Court. The policy is located here.
