During each program meeting, our participants learn about a different aspect of conducting a trial and work with mentors to prepare their case. Meetings are held twice per month from January to April at the Newport News General District Court. In addition to trial preparation, the students develop professionalism skills and receive valuable mentorship from experienced prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges in Newport News.
By implementing this program, our goal is to equip students with the resilience and perseverance needed to overcome everyday challenges and to create more awareness of career opportunities available to students from diverse backgrounds.
