Every year, Academy participants arrive as strangers and leave bonded by shared learning, deep discussions, and experiences that extend far beyond the classroom. The friendships forged here last well beyond the program, shaping careers and creating a global network of legal professionals. A lifetime of connections - we wouldn’t have it any other way!
One of the best aspects of the Academy of American and International Law is the relationships formed by the participants. Every year the participants return home with some of their closest friends. They don't think that will happen--imagining the situation that happens at a short conference--but by the end they feel like they are leaving family to return home. I saw this section in a book, Shift (the second of the Silo Series), and it made me think of the Academy. "The last two weeks had been like summer camp, where being around the same people almost every hour of the day brought a level of familiarity and intimacy that knowing them casually for years could never match. There was something about forced confinement that brought people together." This is one reason we strongly encourage participants to stay at the same hotel (or at least in the same vicinity).

The Center for American and International Law is proud to honor Harriet Miers with CAIL’s Achievement in the Pursuit of Justice for All Award at the Legacy & Leadership Awards Luncheon on May 7, 2025, at the Arts District Mansion in Dallas. Miers, a trailblazing attorney and public servant, has shaped the legal profession through her leadership in private practice, government, and legal education. She was the first woman to lead a major Texas law firm, the first female president of both the Dallas Bar Association and the State Bar of Texas, and served as White House counsel to President George W. Bush. For over 30 years, Miers has been deeply involved with CAIL, advancing its mission to promote justice and the rule of law. She served as Chair of CAIL’s Board of Trustees from 2014 to 2021, guiding the organization through a period of growth and impact. She has also contributed her expertise to key CAIL initiatives, shaping legal education and professional development worldwide. 🎙 The luncheon will feature a fireside chat with Kim Askew, offering a special opportunity to hear reflections on Miers’ extraordinary career and her contributions to CAIL and the legal community. 🔗 Sponsorships 👉 https://lnkd.in/gQRtyuVD 🔗 Tickets 👉 https://bit.ly/3F6FZFo 📍 Event Details 📅 May 7, 2025 📍 Arts District Mansion, Dallas, TX ⏰ Networking at 11:30 a.m. | Program from 12:00–1:30 p.m. #CAIL #HarrietMiers #LegalLeadership #LawAndJustice #LeadershipLuncheon #Trailblazer #RuleOfLaw #LegalCommunity #DallasEvents

This morning at work, I had the powerful experience of hearing from Anthony Graves, a Texas exoneree who was wrongfully convicted of capital murder and incarcerated for 18 years. He shared his story on the first day of our Capital Defense Program, setting the stage for critical education topics for the Criminal Defense attorneys in the room. His wrongful conviction and near execution highlight the importance of continuing legal education. Programs like this help attorneys stay informed, challenge injustices, and uphold the rule of law. As a Development professional, I can sometimes get caught up in the daily tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture. But hearing firsthand how failures in the justice system devastate lives is a reminder of why the work we do at CAIL matters. I’m grateful for the CAIL Criminal Justice and Actual Innocence Programs and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Grant Program for making these educational opportunities possible. #RuleofLaw, #LegalEducation,#MakeanImpact

It’s ALWAYS a good day at The Center for American and International Law when we at the Institute for Law Enforcement Administration have an opportunity to serve our law enforcement partners. But, I will also say on a personal level that I particularly LOVE arriving on mornings just like this one today when the craftsmaship of the skies is displayed in full glory. Beauty is all around us. Sometimes it’s just easier to see.
