Our history
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization, preparing those who preside over our courts and administer justice since 1998.
Pursuit of excellence
The American Institute for Justice (AIJ) was established in 1998 with the main role of providing continuing education courses for judges, attorneys and others who work within our judicial system. We believe our conferences are both pleasurable and academically beneficial.
AIJ’s goal is to better prepare those who preside over our courts and administer justice. As a conference participant, you are the focus of our effort to provide the most up-to-date judicial education, to secure the most desirable venues and to bring in the best possible instructors as we build an institution of sustained excellence.
AIJ conducts five-day conferences during the year at desirable venues throughout the country. Our course materials are designed based on suggestions from past participants, faculty input and board member discussions. Our methods of instruction include lectures, videos, group discussions and writing activities. Of course, we always encourage active group participation.
Please take a few minutes to look at our selection of courses. We hope that you will join us for an informative and enjoyable conference, and that you will feel comfortable recommending us to your colleagues.
If you need any further information about the courses, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone at662-259-0005 or by email at contact@aijinc.org.
