Inns of Court is an engaging program that fosters informal discussions on topics of interest to early-career barristers, following the English tradition of dining with senior practitioners and judges. Participants will hear presentations from distinguished speakers on a variety of relevant subjects, while also enjoying the opportunity to dine with members of the judiciary, ask questions, and engage in casual conversations—often hearing firsthand stories from the bench.
Inns of Court events are held twice annually in Calgary and Edmonton, with special gatherings hosted regularly in other locations around the province.
