Junior high students in the law can get an up-close look at the Michigan court system through a week-long “law camp” offered by the Michigan Supreme Court Learning Center.
“Exploring Careers in the Law” will be offered at the Michigan Hall of Justice in Lansing.
Students entering grades 7 through 9 in fall 2011 are eligible for the program, which is scheduled for July 18-22 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon daily.
“The goal is to have students learn about Michigan’s judicial system and give them a real-life view of legal careers,” said center coordinator Rachael Drenovsky.
Students will explore a range of law-related careers through tours and activities.
Participants will meet with judges, lawyers, and other legal professionals, and observe proceedings at a local trial court.
Registration is limited to 20 students, selected on a first-come, first-served basis; the application deadline is June 3, 2011.
The registration fee is a $75 donation to the Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society Learning Center Fund.
All sessions will meet at the Michigan Hall of Justice, 925 West Ottawa Street, Lansing.
