If you are a May 2023 Graduate, consider joining the Warren E. Burger Inn of Court!
The deadline to apply is Friday, March 25, 2022.
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. You will 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.
This is a fantastic opportunity to meet practicing attorneys and judges and build a relationship with other members of the Inn.
Meeting time and locations
The Inn will meet on the third Wednesday of each month from September 2022 through May 2023, either virtually or, when public health restrictions allow, in person at a high-end venue in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
Students must attend all Inn meetings including in person meetings once they resume.
All meetings will take place over dinner with virtual meetings starting at 6pm CT and live meetings beginning at 5:30pm CT.
