We are preparing for a very special 2016 Annual Meeting at The Fairmont Southampton - Bermuda in Southampton, Bermuda. We are excited to be making a return visit! Our last Annual Meeting was held here in 2007. You will be mesmerized by Bermuda's pink sands, crisp architecture, and laid-back atmosphere. The educational component of the Annual Meeting has something for everyone. We are pleased to have New York Times bestselling author Wes Moore as our Open Forum speaker. He is a decorated Army combat veteran, youth advocate and CEO of BridgeEdU, and is the author of two instant bestselling books. We look forward to hearing him chronicle his journey in discovering meaning in his work. Thank you to Open Forum Chair and Book Review Chair Cliff Greene for helping to organize this program. Annual Meeting CLE Program Chair Chris Kenney and his Committee have developed a great line-up of programs that will facilitate important discussions. Programs will include topics such as drafting and enforcing arbitration agreements; the pros and cons of using animation in product liability cases; the legal developments within the NCAA and how those may change college sports; and so much more. A new component of this meeting is a one-day insurance program offering. The Insurance Bermuda Triangle Event is on July 12. Insurance CLE programming will be held in the morning at The Fairmont Southampton and afternoon programming will take place offsite at XL Catlin in Hamilton.

New Program! Corporate Counsel Training Academy June 16 - 17, 2016 Georgetown University Law Center Washington, DC
In partnership with Georgetown Law CLE, the IADC is rolling out a brand new initiative which is a program called the Corporate Counsel Training Academy. This new program is planned to be a practical training program for counsel new to in-house practice or considering a move in-house. The Corporate Counsel Training Academy has been created as a practical “bootcamp” for corporate counsel who recently made the transition from a law firm or government position to the corporate legal department. It has been fashioned to address those areas that outside lawyers may have had little or no experience with in their law practice, but which will become an essential part of their practice as in-house lawyers. Our advisory board of experienced general counsel has designed the curriculum for lawyers with, generally speaking, three or fewer years of in-house experience. The Training Academy focuses on the practical, not the theoretical, with topics that will resonate with in-house lawyers. Registration is now open! To register and get more program details, visit the Corporate Counsel Training Academy page on Georgetown Law CLE's website. Questions? Email Amy O'Maley McGuire at aomaley@iadclaw.org.
"Spencer - I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you (and, by extension, all of the faculty from last year's Trial Academy). I just finished my first jury trial in federal court and the skills I learned at the Trial Academy were invaluable in helping me make it through. I was far from comfortable during the trial - it was truly baptism by fire - but I would have been lost if not for my week at the Trial Academy. At the time, I knew that the Trial Academy was a valuable experience, but I don't think I fully appreciated how valuable it was until I was getting ready for opening statement, cross examination, etc. over the past few weeks. So, thanks for all of your hard work in putting the Trial Academy together." - Testimonial from 2015 Student Pete Gallagher, Porzio, Bromberg & Newman, P.C.
