Summer Camp for Wannabe Lawyers?

January 14th, 2009 by Josh King, VP of Business Development and General Counsel

Reading the ABA Journal’s article today about the Supreme Court’s decision in Herring v. U.S. (limiting the exclusionary rule in cases of police *ahem* negligence), I was struck by this comment to the post, by one Asia Simms:

Hi! I am in the 5th grade and i want to become a corporate lawyer when i grow up so i was just wondering if there is any information that you can give me or is there any camps or programs for children who want to become lawyers

A corporate lawyer? Doesn’t she want to be a scientist, or a vet, or Britney Spears’ assistant or something? Hasn’t she heard about the ongoing meltdown at BigLaw? If anyone has any suggestions for summer camps for aspiring attorneys still in elementary school, please add them to the ABA Journal blog comments . . .
