Students can explore possible careers in our legal system, including the steps to apply to law school, by taking the following three courses:
Course 1: Law & Society (Law Pathway recommended prerequisite)
- Intro and overview of legal concepts, principles, procedures, and organization of the American court system
Course 2: Juvenile Justice
- Intro and overview to juvenile court trial procedure as well as the history and organization of the juvenile justice system
Course 3: Constitutional Law
- Overview of foundational cases involving the U.S. Constitution as well as development of skills involved in rhetoric, legal writing, debate, and more!
Students in each class get to attend a field trip each year to complement the content they cover in class (CA Supreme Court, Santa Clara County Justice Center, Santa Clara County Superior Court). For more information please contact Ms. Cain, caina@esuhsd.org
