Attorneys

Engaging attorneys with students, and students with attorneys

We can't do this without you: Your participation can make a huge impact

Representation matters. The more we introduce students to a wide range of attorneys, the more we can inspire students to become their own advocates.

There are many ways you can get involved

Have lunch with a High School or College Student
Let us know if you'd be willing to meet a student for lunch to talk through the process of becoming a lawyer and to help a student make a personal connection with the law. 
Sponsor a First Generation Happy Hour!
We gather monthly to connect first generation students to first generation attorneys. We meet at DECO and help to form organic relationships. 
Read a book to elementary school students
Read a law related book to students and answer questions. We provide the book and the introduction. 
Connect your law firm with a local school
We will partner you with a local school, where you can make connections such as conducting field trips, lunch meetings, community service, or develop your own activities to teach and connect with students. 
Participate in a Know your Rights workshop
Are you a criminal attorney? We are engaging prosecutors and defense attorneys from all three counties in Delaware to not only teach students their rights, but how and when to use them. 
Coach a mock trial team
Spend approximately 1 hour a week for 12 weeks to help local students prepare for Mock Trial Competitions.
Help facilitate an "Argue Like a lawyer" Workshop
We split the class into two groups and teach them how to argue with evidence and respectfully wait their turn to reply. 
Join a Lunch and Learn Panel
Come with us to local schools to have an informal conversation about the law and share your experiences with students of all ages.
