YO U ' RE I N VI TED !

The New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers invites you and your guest(s) to join our exclusive Journey to Italy.

We start our journey exploring an undiscovered Florence; home to the masterpieces of Renaissance art & architecture, and unique nightlife. Experience a relaxing day in the Tuscan countryside with some off-the-beaten-path adventuring. In Rome, we continue our fascinating education for lawyers and non-lawyers alike. Our tours include privileged access to historical sites as well as local nightlife & private entertainment. Continue to some of the most beautiful shorelines in the world, staying in Sorrento and touring the Amalfi Coast and surrounding areas.

Of course, no visit to Italy is complete without a thorough immersion into Authentic Italian cuisine. Our group meals will be selected for their quality and diversity with curated food and beverage tastings. You do not want to miss this opportunity to visit Italy while receiving CLE credit! (anticipated 7-9 credit hours)
