Munich lawyers visit Cincinnati generally in September. The program is a joint effort of the Munich Sister City Association of Greater Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Bar Association. During the visit in Munich, the Cincinnati lawyers observe the German justice system and meet with Munich lawyers to learn of the similarities and differences between the two systems. The program includes home stays with Munich host attorneys. Cincinnati lawyers reciprocate in September.
Home stays allow the attorneys to compare our systems while communicating on a very personal level.
They also form long lasting friendships and possible partnerships. For additional information, send e-mail to Clement H Luken Jr. in Cincinnati, or Herr Augustinowski in Munich. The association's first police officer exchange in the fall of 1996 brought two Munich officers to Cincinnati. The purpose of the visit was to observe the operation of the Hamilton county and the city of Cincinnati police departments and to exchange law enforcement ideas that might benefit each organization. Roger Wolf of the Cincinnati police department and sheriff Dan Carter of the Hamilton county sheriff's department were picked to visit Munich in September 1997.
