The Fifth Annual Law, Justice & Culture Seminar and Retreat | Tuscany, Italy | July 19-26, 2009
In the summer of 2009, we are once again returning to Tuscany to explore the relationship between law, justice and culture but this year promises to be a new, more creative journey into the humanities.  While we will continue to discuss classic and contemporary works of literature and philosophy, 2009’s retreat will introduce you to additional cultural delights.  There will be structured, yet informal, opportunities to encounter the best music, art and architecture ever created by man.  The week promises to be a reawakening of your Renaissance spirit as intellectual and artistic pleasures surround and challenge you.  Mark your calendar for July 19-26, 2009 and plan to spend a stimulating week in the Val d’Orcia region.  Please contact Julie Palermo for additional details.

The Eleventh Annual Justice Institute for the Legal Profession Seminar | Newark, Ohio | November 4-7, 2009
Bringing together experienced members of the Ohio bench, bar and academy, we will meet again this fall for an intensive discussion designed to deepen the understanding of legal ethics and professionalism. As we have done in the past, the discussions will center around classic and contemporary "Great Readings" from literature, history and philosophy. Our accomplished facilitators will probe and challenge our participants as they revisit the values and aspirations that brought each to the law.  As always, we are looking forward to passionate debates and interesting dialogue.

Various Law Firms
As we have done in the past, we are presenting seminars to various law firms and legal associations throughout Ohio. Each seminar is designed for the organization's culture and the areas that they wish to explore. These seminars are presented at a fraction of the cost of traditional CLE's and have the benefit of improving communication among attorneys, increasing morale, and providing an intellectual challenge for all attorneys.
