The Office of Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee has selected 32 students to participate in the office’s 2nd annual Summer Legal Academy (SLA), a two-week experiential learning program that exposes high school students to law school and the practice of law. Students from 17 independent school districts in Harris County submitted applications.
“I created the Summer Legal Academy to ensure students across Harris County can have the tools they need to consider becoming an attorney,” said Menefee. “I’m incredibly excited about this year’s group of talented, diverse students. We all have to do our part to help pave the way for the next generation of attorneys.
“I’m thrilled that these kids will leave the County Attorney’s Office knowing more about their skills, their career plans, and that they can accomplish anything if they work hard and put their mind to it.”
