This week, 12 students from nine #Pittsburgh area high schools attended the PLDIC’s inaugural Legal Career Exploration Program. Each day, students met legal practitioners from law firms (attorneys, paralegals, librarians, and legal marketers); in-house corporations (lawyers and staff); and the government (judges, clerks, attorneys, investigators, social workers, other staff from the Allegheny County Public Defenders’ Office, prosecutors, and U.S. Attorney’s Office attorneys, paralegals, and staff). Students also participated in a mini-trial – honing their legal analysis and speaking skills. A huge thanks to #PLDIC member organizations Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote and Wabtec Corporation for planning and sponsoring portions of the program, and to all of the legal professionals who gave their time to speak with the students.
