Youth Law DayThe New York State Bar Association's Special Committee on Youth Outreach, assembled and field-tested a meaningful and reproducible template for exposing young minority students to the great potential of a law-related career. Under the strong direction of Chair Kenneth G. Standard, former NYSBA president, two successful Youth Law Day events were held. The Youth Outreach Committee’s first ever Youth Law Day, in the fall of 2006, showed that bringing students together for a day to explore the legal profession, was indeed a strong model. After refining that pilot event at Fordham Law School, the second Youth Law Day, held in April 2008 at Albany Law School, proved that the agenda and format could be reproduced with the same successful outcomes. The scale and expense is minimal, making this a realistic endeavor for Bar Associations, law firms, after-school groups and law schools. All that is needed is a core group of dedicated individuals. We have put together timelines, sample documentation, budgets, etc., so that you can start planning right away. All you need is a cooperating law school and or law firm, and a date that fits into the local school calendar.
