Chapter History
The Inn was founded in the late 1980s to improve the
skills, professionalism and ethics of the bench and bar. As part of the
American Inns of Court, the George Mason Inn takes seriously the goal
of helping lawyers become more effective advocates and counselors with
a keener ethical awareness.
The George Mason Inn represents an adaptation of the
English Inns of Court and, like the English Inns, give students a
chance to interact with more experienced advocates at a monthly dinner
meeting. At each dinner, a team of students and professionals present a
topic of interest. The George Mason American Inn of Court presentations
focus on litigation, followed by discussion and critique. Through this
interaction, the Inn of Court seeks to directly enhance the ethical and
professional quality of legal advocacy in America. |
