Capital City Lawyers Association invites the youth attending your summer program or activities to visit the Wake County Courthouse for the CCLA 2018 Youth Law Day.

This program will be held on Saturday, August 4, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Wake County Courthouse, 316 Fayetteville St., Raleigh. It is targeted to middle and high school students between the ages of 12 and 16. Registration will begin at 9:00 am and the program will begin promptly at 9:15 am.

This program will provide your youth with the opportunity to learn about the justice system and expose them to the different roles of those who work within that system. Participants will be able to interact with and question attorneys, judges, and law enforcement officers and take a tour of the jail. This may allow them to consider the different roles as potential professions. Too many young people make temporary decisions and mistakes that have long term consequences. It is important to expose our children to positive experiences and help them understand where negative paths can lead.

If your group would like to attend, RSVP at https://capitalcitylawyersnc.com/yld2018 or via email at cclalawday@gmail.com. Please RSVP prior to July 31, 2018 to reserve a spot for your group.

Each group should have chaperones who will be responsible for the members of his/ her group. Middle school and high school students between the ages of 12 and 16 are the best ages for this program. Parking is available at local parking decks and/or on the street.

Attorneys: If you would like to volunteer to help with registration and courthouse guidance, please contact Vanessa Curtis at cclalawday@gmail.com.
