Just The Beginning - A Pipeline Organization

What an inspiring week at our very first Law School Launch! ✨

Last week, JTB welcomed over 30 incoming law students from the University of Illinois College of Law for a dynamic three-day virtual program. Together, we explored what it takes to thrive in your 1L year, through hands-on mock classes, expert-led sessions, and real-world advice designed to set our future lawyers up for success. 📚

A huge thank you to Judge Roger Webber, Judge Ronda Holliman, Drew Harper, and CB Baga for leading our mock classes, and to Teaching Assistant Professor Zachary Boyce for closing out the week with an energizing Mastering the Elements session. 🧑‍🏫

We’re grateful to our incredible presenters for sharing their wisdom, to our students for their enthusiasm and drive, and to Jolynn C. Caroline for her invaluable partnership in making this program possible. 🌟⚖️
