A key initiative for LPHS partner and Dallas Bar Association President Jonathan Childers, the inaugural DBA Civics Camp allowed DISD middle school student to meet public officials and learn more about government and the law. Participants who shared their experience and insights included:

• U.S. Representative Beth Van Duyne
• Texas State Senator Nathan Johnson
• Judge Tonya Parker, 116th District Court
• Chief Justice JJ Koch, Dallas Court of Appeals
• Former Dallas Mayor and U.S. Trade Ambassador Ron Kirk

We thank all of the LPHS attorneys and staff who helped plan the event and took the time to visit with students about the legal profession and our system of justice.
