Notes from Mrs Gassman

 PreACT 8/9 for freshmenTuesday, April 14th at 8:30 AM.

The University of South Dakota Knudson School of Law will be hosting its “Law Camp” via Zoom on April 15th from 2:00 – 4:30 CST. Law Camp will introduce various degree programs and careers connected with the law in South Dakota. It is open to all high schoolers and there is no cost to participate.

With presenters from a variety of legal careers, students will have a chance to hear about the career path and opportunities of judges, lawyers, probation officers, law enforcement officers, court clerks, court reporters, professionals working with diversion and specialty courts, and other parts of the legal system. It will include representatives from careers that require either two- or four-year degrees along with graduate programs like law school.

Law Camp will be an interesting and exciting chance to learn about legal careers. USD Knudson School of Law Dean Neil Fulton said, “I developed an interest in the law because I got to meet people working in legal careers while I was in high school. I really hope that Law Camp provides a similar spark to another generation of South Dakota students.”

Registration for individual attendees may be completed online. If you are interested in having a group of students participate in Law Camp, please contact Katey Ulrich at Katey.A.Ulrich@usd.edu for details and registration. Please feel free to pass this email along to any other teachers that may have interested students!
