Summer Justice Academy for High School Students: Deadline Summer
The New York Chapter of the National Association of Women Judges, together with Pace Law School, announce the joint sponsorship of the third annual Summer Justice Academy for Young Women, July 11-15, 2011. The Justice Academy is a unique, one-week, intensive immersion program introducing 40 minority and disadvantaged high school students to different legal fields and professions, and to the elements of legal analysis. Its mission is to inspire and empower these young women from Westchester County and New York City to pursue education leading to careers in law. Students are taught mainly by women judges, law professors and practicing lawyers who donate their time. The faculty also serves as role models to young women who may not be receiving sufficient support to enable them to persevere in higher education leading to professional careers. In addition to classes the students take at the Pace Law School campus, this year the Justice Academy students will visit the Westchester County Courthouse and Washington, D.C., taking guided tours of the Capitol Building, the United States Supreme Court and, possibly, the White House.
