Located in Tucson, Arizona, the Morris K. Udall Inn of Court is a chapter of the American Inns of Court. You can read more about the history of our Inn 
(From a Power Point presentation given at the Inn on October 3, 2006).
American Inns of Court (AIC) are designed to improve the skills, professionalism and ethics of the bench and bar. An American Inn of Court is a diverse group of judges, lawyers, law professors, and law students. Each Inn meets approximately once a month to meet socially, have dinner, and present programs and discussions on matters of ethics, skills, and professionalism.
To encourage and help lawyers and judges rise to higher levels of excellence, professionalism, and ethical awareness, the American Inns of Court adopted the traditional English model of legal apprenticeship and modified it to fit the particular needs of the American legal system. American Inns of Court help lawyers to become more effective advocates and counselors with a keener ethical awareness. Younger members learn side-by-side with the most experienced judges and attorneys in their community.
