The Honorable Fiorenzo V. Lopardo American Inn of Court is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Achieving Excellence Bronze designation for the 2025–2026 Inn year by the American Inns of Court.
In notifying the Inn of the award, Dana Aragon, CAE, Director of Chapter Relations for the American Inns of Court, wrote that the designation distinguishes our Inn “as an example of American Inn of Court effective practices” and “speaks to the quality of [our] leadership team.”
The Achieving Excellence program recognizes Inns that exemplify the American Inns of Court’s vision: a legal profession and judiciary dedicated to professionalism, ethics, civility, and excellence. The Bronze designation reflects the consistent dedication of our members, officers, and program planners throughout the Inn year.
Recognition
As part of the award, the Lopardo Inn will be:
- Recognized in The Bencher, the national publication of the American Inns of Court;
- Listed in the program for the 2026 Inns of Distinction Gala; and
- Featured on the American Inns of Court website, with the 2026 Bronze “badge” to be added to our site before the end of August.
Thank You
This recognition belongs to every member of the Lopardo Inn — judges, lawyers, and student members alike — whose participation, mentorship, and commitment to professionalism made the past Inn year a success. Our thanks also go to our officers, executive committee, and pupillage team leaders for the hard work that earned this national distinction.
We look forward to building on this achievement in the year ahead as we continue to advance the mission of the American Inns of Court.
