Rising juniors and seniors are invited to step into the courtroom this summer!
In this one-week workshop, students will adopt the roles of attorneys and witnesses as they argue both sides of a legal case. Taught by two seasoned legal professionals—and St. Ambrose parents—this hands-on workshop provides a rich introduction to the law, justice and citizenship. Strengthen your confidence, sharpen your thinking, and polish your rhetoric. Questions? Email Mr. Michael Kwas!
