In February 2024, the California Lawyers Foundation (CLF) and its California Law Pathways Collaborative (CPLC) program hosted 200 high school students at the state Capitol, providing insights into the legal profession and legislative process. Students engaged with elected officials, attorneys, and judges, touring the Capitol and courts. The event aimed to inspire future legal professionals. Students observed Assembly sessions, heard presentations on legal careers, and participated in a panel discussion with judicial figures. The program, led by CPLC Chair Ruthe Ashley, emphasized civic education and provided networking opportunities. The CLF and CPLC plan to expand these programs, inviting students to future events and seeking support to further its mission of fostering the next generation of legal leaders. Learn more.
