Crump Law Camp for students interested in law - Applications due THIS FRIDAY!

The National Bar Association (NBA) is seeking applicants for their 2012 Crump Law Camp. The Crump Law Camp was established to introduce students entering the 9^th – 11^th grades to the judicial system. The camp is designed to provide high school students with an enjoyable and comprehensive introduction to the challenges of a legal education and to encourage young people to become lawyers and to seek legal careers in the future.

Campers will be housed on the campus of Howard University where they will live in a protected campus environment and young attorneys, law students, and college graduates will serve as counselors and mentors. Participants will attend law school classes at the Howard University School of Law. 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 cover transportation to and from Washington, D.C., housing, meals, educational materials, and expenses for field trips.

The Crump Law 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.

This year’s camp will be held from July 7-14, 2012 and applications are currently available on the NBA website.
