Elevating Advocacy, Advancing Justice
Strengthening advocacy, fostering camaraderie, advancing justice, and building a global community of leaders.
The Academy’s Annual, Mid-Year, and International Meetings are immersive experiences that combine legal excellence, education, and global impact. Each meeting is a forum for Fellows to engage in expert-led discussions, panels on emerging legal challenges, judicial ethics, and the advancement of the Rule of Law worldwide.
Held in dynamic and culturally significant locations, these meetings are designed to foster collaboration and fellowship among the world’s top trial lawyers. Fellows and their families exchange knowledge and best practices while building lasting relationships, reinforcing the Academy’s unique sense of family.
When traveling abroad, Academy meetings serve as catalysts for action. Fellows engage with local legal bars and support community initiatives, helping to strengthen justice systems worldwide.

There is something special – simultaneously calming, inspiring and energizing – about standing at an Academy meeting amidst trial lawyers who have so completely dedicated their lives to fighting for others, as well as their spouses who, in addition to all else they do, keep us going.
