Firmly rooted in the noble 800-year-old tradition of the Inns of Court in England, the American Inns exist to supplement the academic and technical training of American lawyers through the time-honored English tradition and practice of "pupillage"--the sharing of wisdom, insight and experience of seasoned judges and lawyers with newer practitioners. Using this approach, the American Inns of Court seeks to foster excellence in professionalism, ethics, civility and legal skills. The American Inns of Court includes more than 25,000 federal, state and local judges, lawyers, law professors and law students in some 350 chapters across the United States. Additionally, there are over 80,000 alumni members. Foundation offices are located in Alexandria, Virginia. More information is available at www.innsofcourt.org. American Inns of Court David P.
