    Dear Justice Holland,

    Thank you for your letter of November 15th, inviting me to attend the American Inns of Court dinner and awards presentation to be held in October 2002. As you may imagine, I receive a number of requests such as yours and I have adopted a firm policy of not committing myself to anything more than a year in advance. Should you wish to renew your invitation closer to the date I would be happy to consider it.

    Sincerely,
    William Rehnquist

    Dear Randy:
    I am delighted to know that you have been elected to the Board of Trustees of the American Inns of Court Foundation and that you will be a member of the Professional Standards Committee. I have been profoundly concerned that there seems to be too much concern for more and more chapters at the expense of the strong statement in the Creed of Ethics on the subject of advertising and solicitation by lawyers. This overlooks the really basic reason why the American Inns of Court was started that is to have as near as possible the standards that guide the British barristers. My friends from the Middle Temple and the other Inns are appalled when they come to this country and see the advertising.

    If you find you are going to be in Washington at some point please let me know in advance. I would like to visit with you about this.

    Sincerely,
    Warren E. Burger

    20 January 1993

    My dear Warren,

    Many thanks for your letter. I was delighted to hear from you.
    By the same post as your own letter I also received one from Professor Sherman Cohn similarly on the subject of Justice Holland’s intended visit to London. I understand that the dates when Justice Holland will be here are 28-30th January. Unfortunately I am not, myself, able to be available on those dates to look after Justice Holland or to show him our system at work. But I have been in touch with Sir Thomas Legg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Legg), the Permanent Secretary of the Lord Chancellor’s Department, whom you met when we were both in Washington in 1989 in the course of the Anglo-American Legal Exchange. Tom has very kindly said that he will try to arrange a suitable programme for Justice Holland to visit the Royal Courts of Justice and one or two of our Inns of Court here in London on Thursday and Friday, 28th and 29th January. Will you please ask Justice Holland to get in touch on his arrival with Thomas Legg’s office, telephone no: 071-219 3246.

    I hope you and Vera are both well and that you are still enjoying your splendid work as Chairman of the Bi-Centennial Commission. I shall much look forward to receiving the Commission’s publications which you have so kindly sent me under separate cover.

    Margaret joins me in sending our warmest regards and best wishes to you both.

    Yours most sincerely,
    Nigel
