About Law Academies<br />

Law & Justice Academies help students<br />

excel academically, prepare<br />

for college, and explore careers in<br />

the legal field. Students receive exposure<br />

to the legal profession and<br />

develop the skills and knowledge<br />

needed to embark on advanced<br />

professional and academic careers.<br />

Department of Education<br />

reports show that academy students<br />

have significantly higher<br />

graduation rates and scores. Additionally,<br />

the academy model helps<br />

more students meet UC admission<br />

requirements.<br />
