What is the Burger Inn of Court?
The Warren E. Burger Inn of Court is a professional organization of judges, lawyers, law professors and law students in their final year of law school who are devoted to promoting Legal Excellence, Civility, Professionalism and Ethics in the law profession.
Why should I consider being a member?
You will have the opportunity to meet and become acquainted with judges and lawyers you may never have met if not for this experience. There are nine Mitchell Hamline School of Law student members in the Inn each year. Each student member is assigned to a group that is hosted by a judge. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet practicing attorneys and judges and build a relationship with other members of the Inn. You will also work with the other members of the Inn of Court on a presentation that your group will present to the Inn membership. Each month a different group presents on their topic. Active participation as a student member is very important to a successful Inn of Court experience. Students are expected to attend all Inn meetings.
The Inn will meet on the third Wednesday of each month, either virtually or, when public health restrictions allow, at the Town & Country, 300 Mississippi Boulevard in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Virtual meetings will start at 6pm CT, live meetings will begin at 5:30pm CT, and both will end at 8pm CT. The meeting dates for 2020-21 are September 16, 2020, October 21, 2020, and November 21, 2020, January 20, 2021, February 17, 2021, March 17, 2021, April 21, 2021, and May 19, 2021.
