CAYC: Justice from the Student Perspective and legal opportunities for them

Friday April 25, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PDT

The legal profession, especially the courts, are in need of interpreters, court reporters, judicial assistants, and paralegals. By hosting a legal internship at a school students can receive valuable training that will increase their chances of obtaining a job in this profession shortly after obtaining a high school diploma and passing an exam. By supporting a Youth Court either at your school, geographically close to your school or virtually, students can obtain valuable experience to prepare them for this profession.
