    The program offers career exploration for future attorneys, law enforcement officers, and public officials. Students are exposed to real-world experiences in the field of law, criminal justice, and public affairs. The Pre-Law and Public Affairs Program is designed for students who are interested in careers in law, criminal justice, legal office service, and public affairs including teacher education. Students have easy access to the federal district courthouse, circuit courts, city council chambers, legal offices, the Broward Sheriff’s Office, police departments, and governmental agencies. Online research, mock trials in the school’s own courtroom, and participation as Ghost Jurists in district court proceedings are just a few highlights of this program.
