Throughout the fellowship, our Fellows worked diligently to prepare for their Mock Trial case, United States of America v. Devin Martinez. From developing arguments and preparing witnesses to practicing courtroom procedures, they put their knowledge and skills into action during their final trial.

Congratulations to our Fellows for their dedication, teamwork, and commitment throughout this experience. A special thank you to all of the attorneys, law clerks, judges, and mentors who guided them every step of the way and helped bring this opportunity to life!

Our Fellows visited the Laredo Center for the Arts, where they explored works by talented local artists and learned more about Laredo’s vibrant artistic community. Inspired by the exhibits, they then created their own drawings, reflecting on people, places, and experiences that hold special meaning to them.

Thank you to Laredo Center For The Arts Gallery for welcoming our fellows and providing such a meaningful and creative experience!

Every jury plays an important role in the pursuit of justice. ⚖️🏛️

Our Fellows explored the process of jury selection in their Law and Courts class through an interactive courtroom activity. Racing across the courtroom to answer whether potential jurors would be accepted or dismissed, they learned how attorneys and judges evaluate jurors and how different perspectives help shape a fair jury.

Through teamwork, critical thinking, and a little friendly competition, our Fellows gained a deeper understanding of the important decisions that take place before a trial even begins. Thank you to Judge Diana Song Quiroga for sharing your knowledge and helping our Fellows gain valuable insight into the legal process!
