High school

The Waring-Mitchell Law Society is partnering with Wilde Lake High School to bring a free forum to learn about a career in the law. Students will meet individually and in groups with judges and attorneys engaged in the practice of law through a “speed mentoring" activity and case simulations.

This is a great event for high school students, especially those interested in the law. They will have an invaluable experience learning about the law and networking with professionals.
