The American Inns of Court is a national organization designed to
improve the skills, professionalism, and ethics of the bench and bar.
Tampa’s civil litigation Inns are The J. Clifford Cheatwood Inn, The
Ferguson-White Inn, The Tampa Bay Inn, and The Wm. Reece Smith Litigation Inn. Each Inn
limits membership to approximately 80 members who are assigned to pupillage groups of
eight or nine members. Pupillage groups include at least one judge as well as attorneys of
varying experience and areas of practice. The Inns usually meet monthly from September
through May for dinner programs, except for The Wm. Reece Smith Litigation Inn which
meets monthly for a weekday luncheon. Inn members usually earn one hour of CLE credit
for each program attended.
Each year, the Inns invite new members to join for varying membership terms. Members
are selected based upon their length and area of practice. Discounted memberships are
available for full-time law students who wish to apply. If you are interested, please apply
promptly! (Please note: Current Inn members who wish to renew membership in their
present Inn need not apply.)
