Northside is a participating school which offers The School's of Choice Program and home to The Law Studies program which includes a state of the art mocktrial room ran by Ms.Liz Tullier. The NHS Law Signature programs consist of Law 1 (Street Law), Law 2 (criminal justice and mock trial activities), Law 3 (paralegal studies, forensic psychology, and mock trial activities), and Speech/Debate for the law student. The students participate in regional mock trial competition and host a law week for NHS social studies classes. During this week the law students perform a mock trial and conduct activities for the students. The law students also participate in a field trip to Angola and tour the federal courthouse. The future of the program depends on recruitment for students into the program. The Young Lawyers Association in Lafayette and the Neuner & Pate Law Firm has been vital components of our program. We would also like to expand the program to include dual enrollment in the local community college in the field of criminal justice and perhaps a criminal justice training program for potential law enforcement officers.
