    CJA Travels to the Land Down Under: Will you join?

    Mark your calendars for July 2-15, 2027, for an extraordinary CJA journey to Australia!

    CJA's international programs combine meaningful legal education (MCLE and JBEC) with one-of-a-kind cultural experiences and opportunities to experience another country's legal and judicial systems firsthand. CJA trips are exclusively available to CJA members and their guests, and this experience will be limited to just 40 participants.

    Our journey begins in Sydney, where we'll experience this iconic city, including a visit to the world-famous Sydney Opera House. From there, we travel to Canberra, Australia's capital, for a closer look at the country's government and legal system, including visits to the High Court of Australia and Parliament.

    We'll finish our adventure in Cairns, where our legal education programming will be paired with an unforgettable opportunity to experience one of the natural wonders of the world-the Great Barrier Reef.
