CRESTVIEW HILLS, Ky. - Crestview Hills law firm Dressman Benzinger Lavelle recently played host to 10 Armenian lawyers.
The visit was part of a Community Connections program designed to give the Armenian lawyers some insight into how American law firms operate and also build relationships between the two countries lawyers.
The 10 lawyers are from the Armenian capital of Yerevan. All work in a new law firm or Armenia’s new public defender program. Armenia is transitioning to a more democratic judiciary system.
"We are showing them ideas they can implement immediately and also ideas they can work toward over the years,” said Jan Sherbin, who is managing the Community Connections program.
The Armenian lawyers will spend three weeks in the Cincinnati area, visiting law firms, courts, judges, law professionals and universities.
