Read what past participants have to say about Mini Law School

"Excellent program. Gives you some insight into various areas of the law鈥�some areas that you wouldn鈥檛 think existed. All speakers are excellent and seem very willing to participate in this great program. A must for anyone that has a slight interest in law."

"Mini Law School provides the community with up-to-date topics of interest to not only the general public but to anyone interested in how the law works in our everyday lives. Each professor brings his/her unique style to the class and approaches the topic with enthusiasm and information."

"The fast-paced nature of these classes have you thinking on your toes, but also reflecting later on about the issues we face as citizens of a democracy. There is something tantalizing about being surrounded by your peers who are as eager to learn as you. This class was everything I expected and more, I cannot wait to attend more in the future."

"Mini Law School provides a superb foundation for exploring topics that focus on the most critical aspects of the legal system today. Students of law or any related field stand to benefit greatly from this condensed and fast-paced introduction into the legal fields impacting us today at local, national, and international levels."

"Mini Law School informs, educates and serves as an important reminder of how the law influences every aspect of our lives. Being exposed to wide-ranging topics gave me a greater appreciation for the dynamic nature of the law and respect for its enduring value."
