Students Suit Up for the Future

Selae Walker and Olivia Cassreino (Dominican Class of ’22) participated in the Louisiana State Bar Association (LSBA) Suit Up for the Future program, June 13 to July 1. During the three-week legal institute, students attended an abridged law school session, field trips to law schools and courts, and an internship that included shadowing at area law offices and courts to see first-hand what it means to be a lawyer.

On the last day of Suit Up for the Future students traveled to the United States District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana where they presented oral arguments to a panel of esteemed judges. Selae won First Place for Best Oral Argument, Prosecution. Suit Up for the Future program participants included students entering the 11th or 12th grade, or the first year of college in the Fall of 2022.
