Training & Educating High School Students on the Path to Becoming an Attorney
Are you a high school student in Harris County thinking about whether you’ll one day go to law school? The Office of Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee created a program to empower students like you.
The Summer Legal Academy is a two-week, full time legal training and educational program designed to expose high school students to the path to becoming an attorney. Participating students learn about the path to getting accepted to a law school, what to expect in law school classes, the different careers one can pursue with a law degree, and the various types of practices in which a lawyer can focus.
Congratulations to the first cohort of the Summer Legal Academy!
