N ow is the best time to register for the Association’s April 10-13 International Continuing Legal Education program in London, featur- ing presentations on comparative law, diversity and inclusion, cyber security and access to justice. In addition to the CLE programming, which is being hosted at LexisNexis’ global headquarters, we have planned a series of outstanding tours of the U.K. Supreme Court and the Royal Courts of Justice. Members will have an opportunity to view a trial at the Old Bailey Courthouse in the “well” (court- room floor), and can take a river cruise of Runnymede featuring a presentation from the Reverend Dr. Robin Griffith-Jones , Master of the Temple, Temple Church. Jones is a renowned Magna Carta scholar and a delightfully interesting speaker. The Runnymede cruise will be followed by a tour of Windsor Castle (both are optional events). Planned social events include: an opening reception at a London-based law firm, dinner at London’s oldest pub,

“Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese,” and chamber music in the Historic 12 th Century Inner Temple Church, featuring members of the CBA’s Symphony Orchestra. The Temple Church was featured in the movie “The DaVinci Code.”The closing dinner will be held in the Inner Temple’s Grand Hall and will feature remarks from the Honorable Lord Neuberger , President of the U.K.’s Supreme Court. We have secured a group rate at the Athenaeum Hotel & Residences, 116 Piccadilly, in Mayfair, London. The Ath- enaeum is a five-star hotel located directly across the street from Green Park, which is a short walk to the gates of Buckingham Palace. It is also a short walk to Bond Street, featuring some of the world’s best shop- ping. This is a unique trip and one that you won’t want to miss.
