For High School Students
The UCI Saturday Academy of Law (SAL) is designed to help students develop stronger critical reading, writing and speaking skills, while providing students with the opportunity to learn about exciting careers in law.
Students will have the opportunity to:
- Attend classes at UC Irvine School of Law
- Meet judges, attorneys and other public officials
- Meet other students from all over the school district
“These Saturdays have been very marvelous and I have learned so much about law. I never thought this program would be so exciting. I remember the first day I came in and I didn’t want to talk at all but now I have improved those skills. My favorite Saturday has been when we met two lawyers and it really inspired me to push myself in school and to think about my future. It’s sad that we only get 6 Saturdays to come to this program. I think there should be more great programs like this.”
