Lawyers, law students, and judges will renovate a center serving impoverished youth in Little Haiti. The Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division’s capital improvements will provide a new bathroom and kitchen facilities so that The Art Studio Miami (ASM) can better serve students living in poverty. ASM works to prevent at-risk youth from entering the juvenile justice system through creative, holistic project-based learning and career development.
The Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division, Law Student Division, Lexis Nexis, and the Dade County Bar Association Young Lawyers Section are the primary sponsors of this event and have partnered with the University of Miami School of Law in the planning effort.
Saturday, February 27, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Art Studio Miami, located at 7230 NW Miami CT, Studio #5 (the Purple Door).
The event is designed to engage law students in their local communities, instill a community service ethic in Florida’s future lawyers, and strengthen citizens’ faith in the pursuits of lawyers within their communities.
