Crump Law Camp! Opportunity for 9th-11th graders to practice law!

The National Bar Association is seeking applicants for the Crump Law Camp. The Crump Law Camp was established to introduce students entering the 9th11th grades and who are between the ages of 14 and 17 to the judicial system. 

The goal of the camp is to encourage young people at an early age to become lawyers and to seek legal careers in the future. The NBA is seeking applicants to attend this camp from every ethnic group and its selection process is non-discriminatory.

Campers will be housed on the campus of
Howard University and they will live in a protected camp environment. While open enrollment is available to students across the country, an emphasis will be placed on enabling students from low-income families to attend. Tuition for the camp will vary depending upon family income. The tuition covers transportation to and from Washington, DC, housing, meals, educational materials and expenses for field trips.

The camp will provide students with an exciting academic and social agenda and the competitive highlight of the camp is the
Evett L. Simmons Mock Trial Competition.
The four winners of this competition will be invited to the NBA's Annual Convention.

The Crump Law Camp will run from
July 10-23, 2011. Applications are available on the NBA website and should be mailed to the following address by April 15:
