The\nCharles F. Scanlon and Judge Samuel H. Bell Inn of Court is accepting\napplications for membership for the 2019-2020 term, which begins in September\n2019. The Inn, which was founded over 30\nyears ago by leading members of the Bar, including Federal District Judge Sam\nBell, in collaboration with the Akron Bar Association and the University of\nAkron School of Law, provides members of the judiciary and bar an opportunity\nto learn from one another, both through CLE presentations and by sharing dinner\nin a relaxed atmosphere. It has\nmaintained its vigor by annually enrolling new members who want to learn and\nshare information about ethics, public issues, and advocacy through the\nprograms offered by the Inn. We\ncurrently have openings in all three of our classes: (1) the bencher class, which is made up of\njudges and lawyers with fifteen or more years of experience; (2) the barrister class,\nwhich is made up of lawyers with between four and fifteen years of experience;\nand (3) the pupils class, which is made up of law students and lawyers with\nless than four years of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
