It connects lawyers with other lawyers, and law enforcement officers with one another.
Our annual Energy Law program is the oldest and still among the best CLE programs in the United States. Our co-sponsored internet portal, www.kluwerarbitration.com, is the best website in the world for international arbitrators. Our Law enforcement Ethics Center is a leading voice in law enforcement ethics and is responsible for ethical training to thousands of law enforcement officials. Our programs on capital trial advocacy and on actual innocence have focused on subjects critical to the effective administration of justice.
