The Center for American and International Law (CAIL) is a nonprofit institution dedicated to improving the quality of justice through continuing education to lawyers and law enforcement officials in the United States and throughout the world.

Founded in 1947 by Robert Storey, Dean of the Southern Methodist University School of Law, CAIL was a pioneer back in a time when the notion of continuing formal education beyond law school was a relatively new idea.

Today, tens of thousands of lawyers and law enforcement officers from all 50 states and 130 countries have participated in CAIL programs. The organization has earned a reputation for excellence in education and continues to offer high quality, cutting-edge services to the legal community and beyond.
