Goals / Remit
The Mentor Group was established in Boston in 1983 as a business and law institute specialized in US/EU economic and legal affairs. In 1985, Chief Justice of the United States Warren Burger initiated Mentor Group’s Forum for EU-US Legal-Economic Affairs, an off-the-record meeting of US and EU Supreme Court members with public officials and Chief Legal Officers of corporations such as Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Intel, Pfizer, IBM, Nestlé, Enel, Schindler, ENI. Mentor’s annual Symposium on Statecraft at the Supreme Court over three days joins US and EU Supreme Court members with counterpart diplomats, scholars and general officers. Justices Scalia, Breyer and Kennedy conduct annual seminars for Symposium Fellows during this time.

Communication activities
Forum for EU-US Legal-Economic Affairs
Established 1989, this peer group of Supreme Court Justices, European Union Commissioners and corporate Chief Legal Officers meets twice annually in Europe to discuss concrete legal-economic developments between the European Union and the United States. Collective findings inform members’ autonomous decisions in the future. The Forum operates under the Chatham House rule, which disallows attribution of remarks to any speaker and outside reference to any specific findings.
Symposium on Statecraft
Founded in 2009, the Symposium meets annually in Washington DC to unite US and EU Supreme Court members with counterpart diplomats, scholars and armed forces Colonel and flag officers. All Symposium members assist leaders building global statecraft yielding truly global security. In addition, this Symposium holds that statecraft must also deliver free and open markets with constitutional protection of all market players.
Seminar for the European Union Judiciaries
Established 2005, the Seminar is the first to convene EU national court judges with European Court of Justice (ECJ) and United States Supreme Court members. It also attracts EU national judges, who since 2004 must apply EU law as consistent with their own Constitution. All member state judges grapple with cases whose judgments are increasingly at variance with one another and with ECJ case-law itself. This resembles United States federal court “circuit splits” ultimately resolved by the United States Supreme Court, for which there is no analogous procedure in Europe.
Case-law Compendium on Economic Freedom and Administrative Power
Established 2009, the Library provides Seminar jurists with English language case-law on economic issues otherwise unlikely to reach the judges. Case-law informs judges of new legal doctrine on economic freedom and administrative power from both EU and US jurisdictions. The Library also sponsors essays by judges and legal scholars, who follow guidance of Seminar members. The essays nourish new legal doctrine developing national economic freedom.
Harvard Seminar on Statecraft and Political Economy
Founded 1990, this annual Seminar convenes Harvard Law and Harvard Business School students hearing diplomats and jurists from both the EU and US jurisdictions. Our Harvard seminars explore durabilities of the American political economy, a term defined by Adam Smith in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations as “the branch of the science of a statesman or legislator” concerned with the management system “providing a plentiful revenue or subsistence for the people”. Referencing the political economy of any nation, Smith cites rule of law for its dynamic principles of justice. Smith declares justice intrinsic to economic and business affairs that actually generate the wealth of nations.Other activities

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
