Sunday will see the arrival at Florida State of 60 bright and eager young students interested in law school. The next four weeks will be a tremendous experience for them, as they will get to see what law school and the practice of law is all about.
Over the next month, the students will meet prominent attorneys and judges in Florida, visit the Florida Supreme Court, the Florida Senate and the House. They will also perform an oral argument in front of a panel of judges just like actual appellate lawyers do. They will learn about various careers in the legal field. The law school's legal writing instructors will teach them some of the nuances of drafting a brief, and one of our most entertaining and distinguished faculty members will introduce the students to the basics of law.
There will also be fun activities, such as a weekend trip to "The Rez," a local lake park. We will go bowling and play outside on Landis Green after the day's formal activities are finished.
I am serving as a mentor in the program this year, a job I also performed last year. I hope the students have as much fun as I did last year. This is a great job- to work with intelligent, positive people who have their whole lives ahead of them.
Being a student (or a mentor) in this program is a privilege, an opportunity, and a great time. I look forward to meeting all the new students and introducing them to our law school, one of the best law schools in the country.
YFM,
