This immersive two-day experience is slated to take place live in the Adelfa B. Callejo courtroom for the time being.

Who is this Bootcamp for?

- Those already enrolled in mock or moot and want to get a jump on skill-building
- Those graduating seniors who missed the chance to take an advocacy course before law school
- Those who just know they’ll miss their friends over the summer and want to reconnect before school starts again:)
- Those who just want something “pre-law-ish” to do this summer
Both days will feature students representing a client in a fictitious legal matter involving a school responsible for the injury of a minor child in a class room and again on the school bus. Interested yet? What are you waiting for??
