For over 75 years, The Center for American and International Law (CAIL) has dedicated itself to improving the quality of justice through the professional development of lawyers and law enforcement officers. CAIL was founded as the Southwestern Legal Foundation by prominent Dallas attorney Robert Storey upon returning from his service as lead prosecutor of the Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials following World War II. Since its inception, CAIL has been actively advancing and improving the quality of justice in the North Texas community and abroad. Tens of thousands of lawyers and law enforcement officers have been educated in CAIL programs.
Programs focus on specific interest areas: law enforcement leadership, ethics and diversity training, criminal defense, capital trial, actual innocence, energy law, international law, transnational arbitration, and law and technology.
Many programs are hosted at our office in Plano, which serves the North Texas legal and criminal justice community. CAIL has established a reputation for delivering education programs of the highest quality in our community.
