Stetson’s Gulfport campus\u00a0hosted the 16th Annual Diversity and Inclusion Youth Pre-Law Conference on March 9, with students from\u00a0Tyrone Middle School.\u00a0This year\u2019s theme was \u201cThe Great Debate.\u201d\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The daylong conference, held every year in partnership with the Law School Admission Counsel’s DiscoverLaw.org, featured alumni volunteers mentoring middle school students along with Stetson Law students, faculty and administrators.\u00a0Stetson also partnered this year with the Fred G. Minnis, Sr. Bar Association of Pinellas County. With the assistance of the Minnis Bar, the middle students drafted mock written and oral arguments and had an\u00a0opportunity to\u00a0advocate in the Eleazer Courtroom\u00a0on topics ranging from policing in schools to arming teachers.<\/p>\n

The conference,\u00a0coordinated\u00a0by\u00a0Associate\u00a0Director for Admissions and Diversity Initiatives\u00a0Carmen Johnson\u00a0in conjunction with the Minnis Bar, promotes\u00a0opportunities for legal education and careers among local middle school,\u00a0high school and community college students\u00a0from a range of diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n

“Our alumni, working together with these students,\u00a0feeds the pipeline of excellence and helps\u00a0grow future advocates,” said Professor Judith Scully.<\/p>\n

Alumni volunteers included Johnson, Charis Campbell, Shaquana Harper, Angelica Jones, Cassandra Kline\u00a0and Danielle Martin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
