Morristown-based law firm Riker Danzig on Thursday said counsel Robert Vacchiano was appointed by the Brennan-Vanderbilt Inn of Court as a member of its executive board and, in addition, has been selected to serve as the inn’s treasurer.
Vacchiano has been a member of the Brennan-Vanderbilt Inn, New Jersey’s oldest Inn of Court, since 2017.
The Brennan-Vanderbilt Inn seeks to promote legal excellence in civil litigation and fidelity to the highest standards of professionalism. The Inn holds monthly dinner meetings offering litigation and trial skills continuing legal education programs, with a focus on building professional relationships by discussing current legal issues each month, and on emphasizing a commitment to integrity, ethics and civility.
Its next two-year term begins this fall, when it opens its doors to a new class of attorneys seeking to learn and improve their litigation and trial skills as pupils at the Inn.
Brennan-Vanderbilt Inn of Court was inspired by the traditional English Inns of Court, which played a critical role in legal education dating back to the mid-13th century. The American Inns of Court were conceived in the late 1970s through the efforts of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger. They were formed as informal societies intended to improve ethics, skills and professionalism in the legal system.
