Justice, Law, and Society(JLS)

This program focuses on the intersection of law and justice. We learn the steps to legal analysis and how to separate facts from opinion. We serve our school community through information and community service. The JLS students have opportunities to take law and politically relevant field trips. We also work with lawyers and legal professionals as mentors and coaches. Verizon is our Corporate Legal Partner.
