Salmon P. Chase Inn of Court

The Salmon P. Chase Inn of Court is a dues-paying, members-only monthly meeting of litigators in Northern Kentucky. Student membership (free for students) is a chance for select students who are aspiring litigators to work closely with well-respected attorneys and judges in the community. Students receive the attention, assistance, support and critiques of the members of Inn of Court, and gain the confidence and skills of a seasoned attorney.

Student Application Process:

• Must attend at least five of eight monthly meetings in the academic year (generally 5:30-8:00 p.m. alternating on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays)
• Students must participate in a Pupilage Group (small group consisting of 1-2 students and 2-4 attorneys and judges who meet to prepare a presentation for one of the meetings) which will require meetings beyond those of the monthly meetings
