Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder may be the third-longest-serving attorney general in U.S. history, but hes almost surely the most traveled.

Loop Fans may recall some of his fine tripswith staff and security on his FBI plane to places such as New Zealand, Morocco and of course Europe. Then there are those trips to fulfill his pledge to visit all 93 U.S. attorneys offices.

And just because hes likely to leave in about three weeks doesnt mean hes just sitting around his office, packing boxes, writing farewell thank-you notes. (Dear Darrell Issa)

No, Monday morning finds him in jolly old London, attending the Global Law Summit, a three-day international gabfest of 2,000 lawyers from government, business and other organizations who are celebrating the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta. (It is did help shape American law) Holdersofficial schedule indicates that hes not going to be making a formal speech there, but, according to the conference schedule, he will deliver remarks at the welcoming session Monday morning in the Churchill Auditorium of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre.

The event styles itself a high-level business forum with a mix of practitioners, business leaders and others to talk about and develop relationships across markets and jurisdictions. Folks from 50 countries are scheduled to attend, including top officials from China, Russia, Ukraine and Malta. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon may have been too busy to attend, but he sent a video.
