Made possible through the generous support of Derrick (‘03) and Tamesha Mills, Shane Sears (‘99), Mike Brock (‘84), Penny Davis (‘78), John Saxon (‘77), Richard (‘93) and Heather Brock (‘93), and The University of Alabama System’s McMahon-Pleiad Prize, the Summer Scholars program returned for its second year. The program was designed and is administered by Prof. Anil Mujumdar. This summer, Alabama Law welcomed students from across the country to Tuscaloosa.
The students engaged in several activities formulated to help prepare them to apply successfully to law school and better understand the many career options connected with a law degree. The class visited the Northern and Middle Districts of Alabama, attended a hearing in federal court, conducted Alabama Law community views a class 122 composite display. a mock trial, and heard lectures from guest on speakers, including numerous professors, alumni, lawyers, and judges.
