2025 SummitAbout AJEI
The Appellate Judges Education Institute (AJEI) Summit, open to ALL judges and lawyers, is the preeminent provider of appellate judicial education in the United States. The annual AJEI Summit gathers federal and state appellate judges from across the country and invites all lawyers to join them for practical, cutting-edge, educational programming. Presenters include leading practitioners from private and government practice, outstanding law professors, and experienced appellate judges and court attorneys. The four-day format also affords numerous opportunities for bench-bar networking.
AJEI was honored in 2017 for excellence in judicial education; read about the award here.
AJEI presents programming in collaboration with the American Bar Association Judicial Division’s Appellate Judges Conference, Council of Appellate Lawyers, and Council of Appellate Staff Attorneys.
