Curie/MCA SPACE Civics Projects in Action

Several of our students had their civics postcards displayed as part of the Art for Social Change exhibit at the Oak Park Art League. Students had a chance to talk about their postcards and civic issues with guests, and guests were able to write their messages on the postcards that will be mailed to elected officials. Proceeds from postcard sales went to benefit the Pro Bono Network in support of those in
dire need of civil legal assistance. Then, on Saturday, our students also held another writing party at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen during their block party.

Chicago Summer Legal Institute

Chicago Summer Legal Institute (8/6/18 - 8/10/18)
(GEAR UP Partnership)
Location: John Marshall Law School

If you have thought about becoming a lawyer, learn what lawyers do. The Summer Legal Institute Program (SLI) is a one-week legal immersion program for high school students in Baltimore (MD), Chicago (IL), Detroit (MI), Indianapolis (IN), Los Angeles (CA), Twin Cities (MN), New Orleans (LA), Springfield (MA) and Washington (D.C.).

"For many students, particularly students of color and those from low-income backgrounds, the path to law school or a successful legal career is not always clear. JTB works to illuminate that path by lighting the spark of recognition that it is possible to become a lawyer and a leader. That spark is “just the beginning” for our scholars and leaders." ~ Just the Beginning


Learn about the path to law school. Registration is open.
Public transportation passes are available.
