Inns of Court "American Inns of Court (AIC) 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. Each Inn meets approximately once a month both to 'break bread' and to hold programs and discussions on matters of ethics, skills and professionalism."http://www.innsofcourt.org/Content/Default.aspx?Id=2 "New Inns are created by local initiatives. If there is not an Inn of Court in your community, or if your community can support an additional Inn, you might consider starting a new Inn. The national office provides materials that outline the process and show the way, including the booklet, "Creating an American Inn of Court". The first step is to form an organizing committee of judges and lawyers. Once this committee has met and decided to proceed, they submit an application for charter to the national office. This application triggers additional materials that point the way in forming a new Inn. The national office also provides ongoing support with brochures, consultation and discussion via telephone and email, and on-site visits." http://www.innsofcourt.org/Content/Default.aspx?Id=5
