The Theodore Roosevelt Inn of Court is a local chapter of the
American Inns of Court, a nationwide mentoring organization rooted
in the 800-year-old tradition of the English Inns of Court.
The mission of the American Inns of Court is to foster excellence
in professionalism, ethics, civility, and legal skills for judges,
lawyers, academicians, and students of law in order to perfect the
quality, availability, and efficiency of justice in the United
States. The Theodore Roosevelt Inn, which is based in the
federal courthouse in Central Islip, New York, includes as members
federal and state judges, law professors, and leading members of
the Long Island bar. The regular meetings of the Theodore
Roosevelt Inn provide a collegial atmosphere that encourages
networking between all members, mentoring and skills development,
and the exchange of concepts, ideas and techniques. Each
year, ten St. John's students are selected to participate as
student members of the Inn. The students are assigned to an
attorney mentor and are responsible for planning and participating
in one of the Inn's programs.
