Student Inn of Court Membership

Current 2Ls are invited to apply for 2020-21 membership in the William L. Dwyer Inn of Court. One of the Inn of Court’s functions is to serve as an educational and mentoring organization to law students who are dedicated to the pursuit of high-quality, ethical lawyering.

ABOUT THE INN
The general Inn membership is made up of judges, professors, law firm partners, prosecutors, defenders, and other lawyers with varying levels of practice experience. The Inn meets on the Seattle U campus the second Tuesday night of each of the nine months of the school year for dinner, networking, and a continuing legal education (CLE) presentation. Students are each assigned to one of seven sub-groups, called pupilages. Students work with the judges and lawyers in their pupilages to develop and help lead CLEs (each pupilage presents one CLE for the year).

SELECTION CRITERIA
This is a competitive process. There are seven spots available for Seattle University law students who will be 3Ls during the 2020-21 academic year. Selection criteria include a demonstrated interest in litigation and dispute resolution, participation in activities supporting that interest, and a thoughtful and compelling cover letter.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Applications for membership in the William L. Dwyer Inn of Court are due Monday, April 20 by 5 pm. A resume and letter of interest detailing why you would like to join the Inn should be addressed and emailed to:

Deborah Ahrens, Associate Professor of Law and
Erin Fullner, Senior Associate Director of the Center for Professional Development

MEMBERSHIP DUES
Student dues for 2020-21 will be covered by the Office of the Dean.

QUESTIONS
Contact Prof. Ahrens or Dr. Fullner if you have questions. Both are available for Zoom appointments if you would like to discuss membership in the Inn.
