While this camp's primary focus is for 9th and 10th graders, rising juniors and seniors may apply.

This camp, including daily lunch and field trips, is offered to students at no charge. This camp focuses on giving students an opportunity to learn about the law and the legal profession, and is held in the Federal Courthouse at 500 Poydras Street. Space is limited with only 45 spots available. Applications are currently being accepted with a deadline of April 1, 2026.
