Hotel & directions

Travel & Transportation Information 

From the airport:

The Courtyard Cleveland University Circle Hotel is 16.5 miles from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. It is possible to take the Red Line train directly from the airport to the Little Italy-University Circle stop, which is 0.3 miles away from the hotel. For more information, you can consult the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority or your preferred navigation app. Taxis and rideshare companies also operate in Cleveland.

Getting to conference sessions:

To get from the hotel to the conference presentations at the Tinkham Veale University Center, attendees can walk 0.2 miles (estimated 5 minutes) to the event or can request the hotel's local shuttle.

The opening reception will be held in the Case Western Reserve University Ben C. Green Law Library, practically across the street (0.1 miles) from the Tinkham Veale University Center. To return to the hotel from the reception, attendees can walk 0.3 miles (estimated 7 minutes). Since the end of the reception will be later than 7pm, if you will require assistance returning to the hotel, please note this in the accommodations section when you register for the conference.

The complimentary hotel shuttle operates within a 2-mile radius of the property. The shuttle runs Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Saturdays from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. It departs approximately every 30 minutes and can be scheduled through the front desk.

Parking at the hotel:

The hotel offers valet parking only, at a cost of $26.00 per day. Parking rates are subject to change.

Parking at CWRU (not available overnight):

For attendees who will be driving to the conference and who will not choose to park at the hotel, the CWRU law library can facilitate the acquisition of CWRU parking passes for you at a cost of $10 per person per day. These do not allow for overnight parking so they cannot be a substitute for the hotel parking for hotel guests. If you need this parking, please select it as an add-on ticket when you register for the conference.

Opening Reception



The opening reception will be held at Case Western Reserve University School of Law. Please join us for an evening of food, fun, and friendship!


PROGRAMS & SCHEDULE

Thursday dine-arounds

This year we will be offering Watch-Arounds: a dinner followed by a play or an orchestra performance on Thursday, October 23rd. 

Like dine-arounds, the cost of the meal and the event ticket will be the responsibility of the individual, and each individual should also individually purchase their own orchestra or theater ticket, so that they can choose their preferred price point and seating location.

Because these events could sell out, we encourage anyone who is interested to sign up ASAP on the Sign-Up Genius list and p purchase their ticket. The two events are as follows:

  • The world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra is performing Beethoven's Ode to Joy, one of his most popular works. The orchestra performs at Severance Hall, which is located next to the Tinkham Veale University Center (walking distance from the conference hotel). We intend to choose a nearby restaurant to have dinner before the show (TBD). We are so lucky to have this cultural gem within walking distance of the conference! Here's the link to purchase tickets (be sure to select October 23rd at 7:30pm). 
  • The Dobama Theatre Company is performing the Cleveland premiere of the play Witch, by Jen Silverman, at the Dobama Theatre, located within the Lee Road Branch of Heights Libraries. Librarians will appreciate this wonderful collaboration between the library and the theater company. We will use ride-share for transportation to the theater, and we will pick a location near the theater to have dinner prior to the show (TBD). For more information about the play (and content warnings) and to purchase tickets, please visit their website and choose Thursday, October 23rd at 7:30pm.
