Mark your calendars to join us for
A Week in Legal London April 19-25, 2026
Beyond London | Legal Dublin April 26-30, 2026
In its 38th year, a Week in Legal London is pleased to continue the tradition of providing exciting new opportunities for interaction with UK colleagues at exceptional legal and historic destinations. Because of the special relationships we have formed over many years, this is an exclusive experience to visit places the public does not have access.
We plan to take a small group to Dublin, Ireland, following the Week in Legal London, for a completely different and new bespoke experience in the British Isles for California lawyers.
If a trip to Legal London is on your bucket list, it's not too early to plan for a Spring Fling to London and Dublin.

Tradition and ceremony are on full display with new experiences for both returning and first-time participants. Participants attend court proceedings and educational sessions at the Supreme Court, the Royal Courts of Justice, the Old Bailey, Magistrates Courts, Oxford Crown Court, and other historically significant legal venues. We attend luncheons in the historic Inns of Court, generally available only to members of the British legal community. The week concludes with a Gala Dinner in the Peers Dining Room of the House of Lords – a truly exclusive opportunity.
This program continues to develop, and this website will be updated periodically with our plans. You can expect to have enriching experiences:
- Courtroom observations and discussions with members of the bar and judiciary
- Lunches at the historic London Inns of Court
- Social interactions with solicitors, barristers, and judges
- Educational experiences tied directly to the people and places visited
MCLE CREDIT: A Week in Legal London program offers participants the opportunity to complete 25 hours of MCLE through a combination of in-person MCLE credit hours and online CLE classes.
