American Inns of Court are designed to improve the skills, professionalism and ethics of the bench and bar. An American Inn of Court is an amalgam of judges, lawyers, and in some cases, law professors and law students.  American Inns of Court help lawyers to become more effective advocates and counselors with a keener ethical awareness, and members learn side-by-side with the most experienced judges and attorneys in their community.  American Inns of Court actively involve more than 20,000 state, federal and administrative law judges, attorneys, legal scholars and third-year law students.
