Street Law
This is a class where concepts of law are taught to students by Georgetown University Law Center students and a practicing attorney ending with a city wide mock trial. The 1992 School Without Walls Mock Trial Team won the city wide competition and went on to compete at the National Competition in Wisconsin. This was also the year Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson partnered with School Without Walls.
The 2008-2009 street law team got to the final round of the D.C. mock trial tournament, losing to Bell Multicultural High School. However, the 2010-2011 plaintiff team won the city-wide title against Duke Ellington at finals.
