The one-day program is geared toward youth interested in pursing a career in law.<\/p>\n

“It’s kind of daunting becoming a lawyer and entering into the legal profession is not that easy, and the challenges are real. I mean, it’s expensive, it’s time-consuming. It’s extremely competitive, and we have got a group of tremendous young people who are motivated to try to become lawyers, and we want to help,” says Rob Clarke, shareholder at the firm.<\/p>\n
