    NIABA’S 5TH BIANNUAL ITALY CLE IN BOLOGNA

    September 15-19, 2024

    We plan to schedule 3 dinners one each evening.  One of the dinners will be open to any Bologna lawyer willing to participate (especially those interested in international relationships); we will also invite people from UNICRINT to come to Bologna to attend the dinner.

    One of the afternoons we will visit the Bologna bar offices, located at the Appeal Court of Bologna building (historic site) and will meet with Bar President and officers and with local judges; another afternoon can be dedicated to an excursion to San Marino or Ferrara or Ravenna with dinner to follow.

    The CLEs will be held in the morning. Two will be held at the Foundation of Bologna Bar and one at Bologna University followed by an encounter with some professors and a visit to the University Buildings (dating back to the 16th century).
