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. Each Inn meets approximately once a month both to "break bread" and to hold programs and discussions on matters of ethics, skills and professionalism.

The American Inns of Court includes more than 27,000 federal, state and local judges, lawyers, law professors, and law students in more than 350 chapters across the United States. Additionally, there are more than 85,000 alumni members. The organization is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia. More information is available at www.innsofcourt.org : .
