梅尔文R. 莱特青年法律展览会
每年，梅尔文R. 莱特青年法律展览会 offers a free daylong educational event that tackles the most current legal issues facing local students. Past topics include social media use, bullying, and racial profiling. The students are introduced to a hands-on experience within various aspects of the law through a mock trial and exhibition hall. 在模拟审判期间, students led by licensed attorneys will present a fictionalized case, acting as defense attorneys, 检察官, 陪审员, 法官, 或目击者.
成立于2000年, the Youth Law Fair provides an opportunity for the local students to have a positive experience with the legal community. In partnership with local community organizations, 教育工作者, and like-minded students, the day encourages an expanded view of the judicial system, introduction to community resources, and pursuit of higher education.
The day includes activities involving educating youth about the layout of courthouses and their courtrooms, getting their questions about the law answered by D.C. Superior Court 法官 and lawyers, a mock trial in the courtroom led by attorneys and the open forum speak out sessions on various youth related legal themes are the focus of the day. 点击 在这里 to see a list of previous Youth Law Fair themes.
