Lawyers Trip to Israel
FDD’s Lawyers Trip to Israel is a seven-day intensive national security and lawfare themed trip for DC-based mid-career attorneys. Throughout the week, trip participants will travel around Israel to participate in high-level meetings with legal experts, government officials and military personnel. These in-depth conversations will be supplemented by experiential exercises, including visits to elite military installations and the high-tech sector. Upon completion of the trip, participants become members of FDD’s National Security Alumni Network.

FDD organizes an annual Military Trip to Israel for active duty military officers. Throughout the week, trip participants will travel around Israel to participate in meetings with high-level Israeli and American decision-makers, experiential visits to elite military sites, and two hands-on training exercises.
