Inns of Distinction Gala

About the Event
The Inns of Distinction Gala recognizes high performing American Inns of Court from across the nation that have achieved excellence in Inn management and programming. Inn leaders will gather at the Supreme Court of the United States to celebrate their accomplishments in advancing professionalism in the legal community through exemplary Inn programming and meaningful member engagement.
The gala is a black-tie event that begins with a cocktail reception in the East and West Conference rooms of the Supreme Court of the United States, followed by dinner and a recognition program in the Great Hall.
The 2026 Inns of Distinction Gala will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, to recognize Inns that have achieved Platinum distinction in the 2025–2026 Achieving Excellence program as well as Inns receiving 2026 Program Awards.
NEW! 2026 events include a Dutch Treat Dine-Around Friday evening and a special reprisal of the winning program from our America 250 Program Contest during the Saturday morning Leadership Networking Breakfast. More details coming soon!
