Every Fall, lawyers, law students, and other individuals interested in law and public policy from around the country converge on Washington to attend our three day National Lawyers Convention. Each convention is full of panels featuring noted scholars and experts from across the political spectrum as well as addresses by public officials and other public personalities. Since 2001, the Barbara K. Olson Memorial Lecture and reception have also been held during the convention. The highlight of the entire convention is always the Annual Banquet, usually held on the first night.
