The American Inns of Court inspire the legal community to advance the rule of law by achieving the highest level of professionalism through example, education and mentoring. An American Inn of Court is an association of lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals from all levels and backgrounds who share a passion for professional excellence.

Anthony received this honor in recognition of his contributions to the American Inns of Court, the links he has helped forge between Gray’s Inn and the American Inns of Court, and the bonds he has helped foster between the American and English Inns of Court.
