Center For Legal & Public Affairs Magnet Program
Miami Carol City Senior High School offers a Law Magnet Program, which enables students to learn more about the law, courts, and business.
To enter the program, students must have a 2.5 GPA and must maintain a 3.0 once they are in the program. In their 11th and 12th grade years, students can earn up to 24 college credits while in college through dual enrollment with Miami-Dade College North Campus. An Internship Program is also offered, where students leave campus and get hands-on work experience.
The Magnet program at the school offers a program to college-bound students wishing to pursue interests in law or government. Students in the program work closely with professionals, participating in shadowing and mentoring programs. Field trips to law firms, courthouses and other governmental agencies are made.
During the summers, students expand their knowledge by attending special interest institutes at local colleges and universities. Faculty members work with these students on projects. Other students participate in internships working for local government, law enforcement agencies, or law offices. The Center for Legal and Public Affairs offers opportunities for qualified upper division students to attend Miami-Dade Community College in the afternoon, during 7th and 8th periods.
Admission to the Center for Legal and Public Affairs is based on each student's interest. Students should have stanines of 5 or greater, teacher recommendation, and have a minimum academic grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

“This is a strange little complacent country, in many ways a U.S.A. in miniature but of course nearer the center of disturbance!”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“... whilst you are proclaiming peace and good will to men, Emancipating all Nations, you insist upon retaining absolute power over wives. But you must remember that Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken—and notwithstanding all your wise Laws and Maxims we have it in our power not only to free ourselves but to subdue our Masters, and without violence throw both your natural and legal authority at our feet ...”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“A public man must never forget that he loses his usefulness when he as an individual, rather than his policy, becomes the issue.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“I believe no gentleman would like to have his family affairs neglected because his wife was filling her head with crotchets and pothooks, and who, because she understood a few scraps of Latin, valued that more than minding her needle or providing her husband’s dinner.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“While this magnetic,
Peripatetic
Lover he lived to learn,
By no endeavor
Can a magnet ever
Attract a Silver Churn!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
