Elizabeth G. Macias Legal Studies Academy (EGMLSA) at Santa Ana High School
Multiple Opportunities This Spring!
The Elizabeth G. Macias Legal Studies Academy (EGMLSA) is the first academy of its kind in Orange County.
In the summer, EGMLSA holds a four-day enrichment camp filled with activities such as improv/acting training, a visit to local courthouses, a college and law school campus and ultimately participate in a mock trial.
In the fall, the students participate in the Constitutional Right's Foundation (CRF) mock trial competition.
This spring, the students focus on writing skills, interviewing skills, fine-tuning trial skills, and further developing their knowledge of the legal profession through a Speaker Series. These projects enhance their skills and increase their knowledge of legal issues and expose them to the legal community.
Volunteer attorneys from the OCHBA coach the student mock trial teams and teach in the enrichment camp. This spring, EGMLSA has the following volunteer opportunities:
