Staff Writer I highly encourage upcoming Juniors and Seniors to join Law as a class for next year. You’ll have many great experiences during your two semesters. For example, you could participate as an election judge and get paid $250 as well as service learning hours. I also attended Loyola University Chicago School of Law Alumni Association for four Saturdays. This was a great experience for me because I got to see mock trials and I met attorneys who talked about their journey to where they are now. Having them talk about their life struggles to where they are now was very overwhelming because it really did prove that there isn’t anything to prevent you from reaching your goals in life. Many students in our era need pep talks like this because they might be falling into the wrong footsteps. Law is a great subject because you learn various vocabulary words, as well as laws you probably didn’t know about. Although Mr. Fitz gives midterm exams with up to 200 questions, there really isn’t a reason why you shouldn’t pass because he tells student four to five weeks ahead of time to study, and again its manly vocabulary words. On March 9, 2013 many students in Law participated as a Juror and got to witness attorneys practicing on a law suit. We got to hear both the plaintiff and defendant on why they were suing. We got to see the 13 steps in a trial with a real life judge. The students also got paid $20 if they stayed for two trials. How many students can put that on their college applications? Not many. Law class is very different from any class I’ve had my four years at Hubbard. With Mr. Fitz as your Law teacher, I could guarantee you that you’ll learn a lot about the laws in Chicago and how the court system works.
