Law Day Conference
Annually, hundreds of high school students attend this conference at Whittier Law School. The conference brings students, judges, attorneys and teachers together to share opinions on topical constitutional issues. A moderator and speakers, representing the pro and con sides of an issue. Past workshops topics included: "Should teens be tried as adults?" "Should there be drug testing in the schools?" and "Security v. Liberty: How much freedom are you willing to give up to feel safe?"
The workshops are thought provoking and lively as students explore constitutional issues that they face on a daily basis. Workshop participants are challenged to think about and debate their rights as citizens and how these rights come with civic responsibility
