South Lake Tahoe teen headed to intensive law and trial program at Stanford
Submitted by paula on Mon, 04/29/2019 - 9:09pm
A 17-year-old high school senior from South Lake Tahoe is headed to Stanford University Law School this summer for an intensive 10-day long session where she will step from the classroom to the courtroom.
Laney Terrell currently attends Visions in Education Charter School and is due to graduate this summer, a full year ahead of schedule. She is also taking classes at Lake Tahoe Community College.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for any student, especially Laney since she is planning to major in Political Science and Public Policy. Her goal is to run for California State Senator, so this summer program is a stepping stone to reaching her dreams.
The Envision Intensive Law & Trial session is in collaboration with George Mason University. Students will grapple with ethical issues, craft oral arguments, question witnesses – all while striving for the ultimate outcome of a courtroom trial simulation in the San Francisco Superior Court.
Laney is fundraising to help her get to the summer Envision program. A GoFundMe account has been set up to assist with expenses ($4,000). Donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/1m2iq892w0.
