New Orleans Chapter: Justice Camp

The 2020 FBA Justice Camp will be held virtually May 4-8, 2020. The program will be livestreamed daily at 10:30 a.m. on the NOFBA’s YouTube Channel, and last approximately one hour per day. You must register in order to participate in the daily livestream. All sessions will be available later as recordings.

The New Orleans Chapter of the Federal Bar Association (NOFBA) has taken the concept of summer camp into the federal courthouse, imparting civics education and advocacy skills that prepare students for college, career, and civic engagement. The program, now in its third year, is traditionally held mid-summer at the Eastern District of Louisiana Courthouse in downtown New Orleans. NOFBA’s Justice Camp program encourages 9th and 10th graders to learn about the legal system, including careers within that system, and to develop basic advocacy skills in a fun, interesting, and interactive format.

Sessions will include overviews of the federal court system, safety on the Internet, implicit bias in jury trials, and the rights of privacy, to assistance of counsel, free speech, and other constitutional rights.

The NOFBA invites teachers and schools to share the livestream or recorded sessions as part of their distance learning curriculum. The topics presented during the virtual Justice Camp are components of the typical full-length camp, which the NOFBA plans to reinstitute in the summer of 2021.
