First Law Day of the Year

Friday, October 17th, marked the beginning of this year’s Law Day program, in which 9th grade students travel to local law firms and learn about legal concepts from practicing attorneys! Half of the 9th grade class went to Hogan Lovells and the remaining students were split between Latham & Watkins and Foley & Lardner. Many students opted to wear professional dress for their first Law Day.

Students left TMA for their respective law firms at 12:30 and many students were given tours of the firms once they arrived. Students split into smaller groups and participated in a discussion on negotiation led by a few attorneys. The students learned the importance of preparation in resolving disputes through negotiation, as well as skills to argue their position in a negotiation and to better understand the views and tactics of others in such instances. For example, students brainstormed arguments in favor of and in opposition to introducing school uniforms from the point of view of faculty, parents, and students. Our students were thoughtful, articulate, and were able to effectively argue positions their differed from their personal views.

The first Law Day was an amazing success and many of the attorneys confided that these groups of 9th graders are some of the most engaging and interested students TMA has ever had! All of the students and volunteers had a great time. A special thanks to the chaperones and volunteers at the firms of Hogan Lovells, Latham & Watkins and Foley & Lardner!
