🔥🔥🔥Breaking exposé! FIVE anti Trump judges are involved in a secretive, INVITE ONLY club for judges and lawyers called the American Inns of Court. Even the membership and meetings are secret. But somehow the DOJ has shown up at meetings. At least since Biden had been in office.
Is hobnobbing with the DOJ in court matters acceptable? Let alone meeting in secret?
So who all is linked to this selective and secretive club? And recall all of their negative Trump rulings?
- Judge James Boasberg (President)
- Scotus Ketanji Brown Jackson (Vice President)
- Judge Amit Mehta (Secretary and a meeting held at her court.)
- Judge Beryl Howell
Justice (Professionalism Award)
-Justice John Roberts (Honorary Bencher of the Middle Temple)
Wasn’t it something else that Judge John Roberts broke ethical conduct and stuck up for his, “brother Boasberg”?
George Soros has funded a fellowship at Middle Temple where John Roberts is a master of the bench.
First let me very quickly explain how this secret society called, the American Inns of Court came about. In the UK, they have the four Inns of Court that dates back hundreds of years. One of those is called Middle Temple (see Roberts photo). Well, the US created the American version of this in recent decades. There’s a massive list of branches.
The branch many of our judges belong to is The Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) Inn of Court. It’s so secretive, they deleted most signs of this branch from their website although they still met.
Now here’s Judge Beryl Howell. She was nominated by President Judge Boasberg, and VP Ketanji Brown Jackson approved of her nomination. Boasberg claims it was her work on Jan 6 that contributed to his choosing her for the American Inns Of Court Professionalism award.
Let me show you the scant meeting info that I found which included the DOJ and Inspector General Horowitz in attendance.
1. The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court: BOP Custody / Current Status of BOP / Early Release & Reentry: Washington DC, 2/15/24
“Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”
Also there was:
“Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”
2. Mathew Bester, 3 years ago in a quote Linkdn post:
“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”
Matthew was reposting Brent Gurney’s Post and yes the DOJ was there:
“I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”
3. Yearly gala, I’ll review this later. But the Assistant United States Attorney at U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia replied in a comment. Was he there?
“Great job, Rebecca!”
I’ve seen lawsuits online for this secret org over recusal worries with this private club. I also saw a lawsuit that stated their secrecy is dangerous to democracy.
Sources to follow.

Every link there is for members only except the leaders and meetings list. The meeting list is blank tho.

As for the Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court being invitation only, here’s the evidence.
They also admits that the DOJ is included, which isn’t mentioned in the American Inns Of Court brochure. 😏 I’ll show this next.
McKenzie Invited to Join Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court
“Co-Founder Ray D. McKenzie has been admitted to the Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court, an invitation-only professional organization devoted to white collar practice.
As one of the few Inns of Court specializing in white collar criminal prosecution and defense, the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court’s membership includes members of the federal and local judiciary in the District of Columbia, U.S. Department of Justice officials, and some of the most established defense attorneys in Washington, D.C. The American Inn of Court is designed to improve the skills, professionalism, and ethics of the bench and the bar.
McKenzie is a former federal prosecutor, having served the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division where, in 2018, he was awarded the U.S. Attorney’s Award for Excellence in Prosecution of Fraud.”

Here’s the American Inns of Court judicial benefits flyer. Judges hobnobbing with other judges, the DOJ and lawyers, just doesn’t seem very ethical to me.
NETWORK WITH AND GAIN ACCESS TO COLLEAGUES
• Meet and interact with federal and state judges on a local, regional, and national level.
• Stay current with the local bar and connected to attorneys in different practice areas, law professors and young lawyers deans, in-house lawyers, and others who do not have a litigation practice.
• The American Inns of Court member directory is a means to reach out to and communicate with other judges on issues of common interest.
• Attend the Celebration of Excellence at the Supreme Court of the United States with justices of the high court as well as jurists and attorneys from across the country.

Here’s a lawsuit asking for recusal of an American Inns of Court member. Because of its secrecy and it’s acting more like a private social club.
“THE AMERICAN INNS OF COURT ARE UNLIKE TRADITIONAL BAR ASSOCIATIONS BUT ARE SOCIAL CLUBS THAT PROVIDE FOR SECRET EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN FINANCIALLY STRONG ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES
A Social Club, Common Membership Of Judges And Attorneys Representing Parties Creates The Appearance Of Bias.
The American Inns of Court have changed their character as bar associations as they made the membership directory confidential from disclosure for all Inns of Court after sometime in 2008. Their practice of Temple Bar Scholarship and pupilage groups also violated Rule 5-30014 of California Rules of Professional Conduct by allowing ex parte contacts and gifts. The Petition for Writ of Certiorari has been reviewed based on the opinion of the clerks of the Justices, except Justice Gorsuch.
Therefore, contacting the clerks and making gifts to the clerks violate Rule 5-300(c) as they have the power of making recommendations to the Justices.
One major members' benefits, as shown in the video of "American Inns of Court Membership Benefits" that has been posted on the Youtube, Attorney Manuel Sanchez. stated "This is the only organization that I know that the lawyers and judges belong to the trial bar have a chance to meet outside of the courtroom in a social setting and really able to establish the rapport." (A.011)
The business and prosperity of the American Inns of Court is built on the attorneys' benefit to meet the judges in person to establish the "rapport," in violation of Rule 5-300 of California Rules of Professional Conduct.
The American Inns of Court lost all tributes as a bar association further because of the secret membership.
The last publication of a directory for all chapters of the Inns is an archive of the membership of San Francisco Bay Intellectual Property American Inn of Court, made in 2008. (A.055; Request for Recusal in Petition No. 17-
256, A.072-74.)
The Handbook for the William A. Ingram American Inn of Court states:
"The schedule for the monthly meetings (not the dinner meetings) is to gather at 5:30 for socializing and hors d'oeuvres. After administrative announcements, the formal program by a Pupillage Group commences at 6:00 p.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m.
After the program ends, there is further socializing." [Request for Recusal in Petition No. 17-256, A. 146, emphasis added]
Its current meeting schedule states clearly the social function of its Inn meetings:
"Inn meeting, except as noted below, are scheduled on the second Wednesday of each month, with socializing at 5:30 p.m., and the program beginning at 6:00 p.m." (Request for Recusal in No. 17-256, A.050)
These confidential social functions are the characteristic of a social private club. While the American Inns of Court might once have been equivalent or similar to a bar association, they are now more like an exclusive private club. Membership or association in such a private social club with regular private contacts with the judges/justices creates an appearance of bias where attorneys who are members of the Inns appear before judges who are also members or associated with the Inns.”
I’ve seen other stuff around on their secrecy, if you want more. Trust me this group was hard to find stuff on.

Judge Beryl Howell was nominated by the President of the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court, Judge James Boasberg. It’s required for a member to nominate you. It was voiced by Boasberg that her Jan 6 handling contributed.
The Vice President, Scotus Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, gave her written approval.
“Beryl A. Howell has been selected to receive the 2023 American Inns of Court Professionalism Award for the DC Circuit. Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit will present the award during the DC Circuit Judicial Conference.
Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, who nominated Howell for the award, praised Howell’s leadership as chief judge in a term marked by several unexpected events. “Judge Howell’s leadership during the pandemic was extraordinary,” he writes. Howell also “deftly led the court during the surge of more than 1,000 criminal cases filed in this district arising out of the investigation into the attack on the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021.”
“Judge Howell is a brilliant and wise attorney and jurist, as well as an outstanding leader, which has been evident to me since our earliest days working together on the Sentencing Commission,” writes Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Supreme Court of the United States, who wrote in support of Howell’s nomination.”

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts Jr. received a Masters of the Bench award from the American Inn of Courts sister org in the UK. It’s called The Honorable Society Of the Middle Temple. (See photo and first link.)
And Middle Temple does interact with its American counterparts. I’ll show you next post.
Also Soros Open Society does fund fellows at Middle Temple. (See second photo and link.)

Middle Temple, the American Inns of Courts UK counterpart has been to the US.
After visiting the court chambers they had a reception at the British embassy. Later, the American Inn of Courts had moderated panels.
They spent two days at the Institute Of Peace, a radical leftist activist org, paid for by our tax dollars.
I have no idea if there’s any linkage of them to each other since I couldn’t find anything. But they are highly secretive. This would be extremely beneficial to find out.
“In the evening of the 13 September, we went to the Supreme Court for the Calling to the Bench of Justice Neil Gorsuch, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Before the official part of the occasion, I was escorted into the splendid Chambers of John G Roberts Jr, the Chief Justice of the United States (one of our Honorary Benchers).
There I met Justice Gorsuch for the first time. I was immediately struck by his warmth, informality and friendliness. This may be something of a surprise to those who focus only on the rather austere conservatism of his jurisprudence.
The three of us were then escorted into the magnificent courtroom where our group and others were already assembled. Short speeches of welcome were made by the Chief Justice and myself. Justice Gorsuch was then Called to the Bench by Master Maura McGowan. After a gracious and amusing response by Justice Gorsuch, we moved to the East and West Conference Rooms for a reception and then went into the Hall for dinner.
On the 14 September and 15 September, we had two full days of discussions with American counterparts at the US Institute of Peace, a splendid modern conference venue.
The topics on the first day were Human Rights in the Age of Terrorism (UK moderator Master Chantal-Aimee
Doerries, UK speaker Master Neil Garnham, UK Panellists Master Judith Farbey and Master McGowan); Restrictions on Media Communications in the Interests of Truth or Privacy (UK moderator Master Christopher Clarke, UK speaker Adam Speker, UK panellists Master Anthony Smith and John Stables); and Attorney-Client Privilege (UK speaker Master Robert-Jan Temmink, UK panellists Master Stephen Stewart and Master George Leggatt).”
“At the end of the first day of the conference, we were treated to a magnificent reception at the British Embassy generously hosted by the UK Ambassador, Sir Kim Darroch. Sir Kim had spent the day visiting Florida following the recent floods. But he was back in time for our reception and made a warm and witty speech.
Other guests included many of the great and good of the political and legal world of Washington.
The topics on the second day were International and Comparative Law as an Appropriate Topic for Courts (UK speaker Master Jonathan Mance, UK panellists Master Fergus Randolph and Master Jeffrey Golden); and Climate Change and the Law (UK moderator Master Edward Faulks and UK speaker Master Robert Camwath).
The US moderators, speakers and panellists were an extraordinarily distinguished group of lawyers and academics. They contributed to lively and stimulating discussions on each of the topics as did all of our participants. I have not named the US participants simply because they will not be known to the readers of The Middle Templar.”

This is The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court meeting that I found out the most on. And I only found three total.
“The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court holds monthly programs on a range of relevant topics for Inn members, who are both white-collar defense lawyers and prosecutors, and including D.C. federal trial and appellate judges.”
“Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”
“Moderators: Seth Rosenthal; Addy Schmitt – Participants: Seth Eichenholtz; Michael Horowitz; Vanesa Rojas; Joel Sickler – (Left to Right): Michael E. Horowitz, Inspector General DOJ; Addy Schmitt, Managing Partner Harris, St. Laurent & Wechsler LLP; Joel Sickler, Founder of Justice Advocacy Group LLC; Vanesa Rojas, Formerly Incarcerated Rising Scholar, Palomar College; Seth Eichenholtz, Senior Counsel to Deputy Attorney General at DOJ; and Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”

This here is from a EBW Inn of Court panel discussion from three years ago. The DOJ was here that day too.
Matthew works at Accenture which had a US contract cancelled by Doge. Accenture deals with Publicis Group, and utilizes DEI and sustainability.
The (Publicis) Groupe took part in the launch of the World Economic Forum, GARM (Global Alliance for Responsible Media). Which was costing Elon ad revenue.
Publicis also handles WEF lodging etc type of stuff for its Davos meeting. And Publicis is partnered with Newsguard.
Mathew Bester:
“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”
Brent Gurney:
“It was a pleasure to co-host the EBW Inn of Court panel discussion on criminal prosecutions of what are sometimes called “no-poach” agreements for violations of the antitrust laws. In 2016, the Department of Justice warned that it would begin bringing criminal prosecutions. And then, after a wait of several years, it started doing just that. A number of cases are pending. I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”

Now it’s time for my thoughts on this. We are looking at SCOTUS involvement, DC district courts, DOJ, and prosecutors.
These courts affect our entire country. This isn’t like some rinky dink branch in a Florida suburb.
I don’t think these high courts should be involved in anything secret. The stench of enablement is overwhelming. Especially when you have leftists fighting everything Trump as their Officers.
I think the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court should be disbanded. And all DC justices barred from such activities.

PS, go to the American Inns of Court site and search for the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court in their little search box. Its group number is 30072, I’ll wait.
Trust me, I was even in their archives and for many subdomains too.
(They’ll probably add it back if they aren’t totally crazy.)
Anyways I’ll even provide the link. 🦁 💪🏻

Since I have folks saying that they or relatives are members, and It’s no big deal….
Can you get me the member list for the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court? ID 30072
And I’d like the meeting minutes and any video or photos too please. And any video or photos of the appetizer recreation time too.
All I want is transparency in DC.
Thanks!
