High School Summer Law Program

Discover a career in law.

At the NSLC on Law & Advocacy, you’ll step into the role of a trial attorney and experience what it takes to argue a case from start to finish. Learn how to analyze evidence, question witnesses, and craft compelling arguments as you prepare for a simulated trial. Through interactive workshops and debates, you’ll explore how legal reasoning, ethics, and advocacy shape justice in and beyond the courtroom.

I had the best time here. I’m so glad I decided to attend. I made friends I will never forget and now have a good idea of what I want to do with my future.
