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.
