MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) – Several South Florida students received a hands-on lesson in the law this summer, thanks to one organization’s mission to keep young people engaged and active while sparking their interest in the legal profession.
The 100 Black Men of South Florida hosted its annual Middle School Summer Law Program in partnership with Miami Carol City Senior High School’s law magnet program.
During the weeklong program, which ran from Monday to Thursday, students took part in several activities, including debates, a mock trial and lectures led by local attorneys who served as guest speakers.
Licensed attorney and teacher Asiah Wolfolk-Manning, who leads the law magnet program at Miami Carol City High School, said it’s good to keep students engaged and informed even during the summer break.
