“Over 125 programs were reviewed and evaluated by our volunteer national Program Awards Committee. All of them reflect the camaraderie and creativity at the heart of the American Inns of Court pupilage group design. While many, many more deserve national recognition, we are pleased to announce the winners of the 2010-2011 Outstanding Program Awards.” Chuck Hendricks – 2010-2011 American Inns of Court Program Awards Committee Chair
