Founders Day- Social Science

This Founders’ Day, The Criminal Justice Department is fundraising to offer real world experience for our future law professionals. 

When you make a gift to the Criminal Justice Department today, your gift will provide the necessary support to:

• Send our students to a National Mock Trial Competition. This competition will sharpen the students presentation and argument skills – skills that are needed in a law career.   
• Support a student trip to London to study at the English Foundations of American Law. American law derived from the common law system of English law, thus students will get to learn law from its source.

These experiences are critical to our aspiring law professionals. Make a gift today to the Criminal Justice Department by using the secure form below!
