Illinois Family Law WFL 2025 Summer Mini-Law School Program Has reached Capacity!
The WFL Mini Law School Program is a one-week-long high school law program sponsored by Winters Family Law providing students with an introduction to legal careers and trial practice.
Students will participate in interactive sessions with practicing attorneys in multiples areas of law. Students will also meet college counsellors and law school admissions personnel. Students will see first-hand what lawyers do on a day-to-day basis and learn from professionals how to prepare for a career in law. An exciting "pre-law" experience for high school students!
As a capstone to the program, students will prepare for and participate in a mock trial before a Cook County Judge in a Daley Center courtroom. Students will prepare their own examinations and arguments, with direction and coaching from WFL's experienced trial attorneys.
See the syllabus, here. Students will not spend the week sitting in a classroom; they will go where the lawyers are! Students will visit local courtrooms (Lake and Cook County), visit Northwestern University School of Law for a tour and an information session with law school admissions, and much more.
We are no longer taking applications for the 2025 summer session, August 4 - 8. Please check this space next year!
