Stanford Law School Collaborates with Envision on Intensive Law & Trial Program for High School Students

Stanford Law School and Envision have collaborated to offer high school students the opportunity to get a glimpse into the legal profession and a taste of the study of law.

Intensive Law & Trial will provide students with academic and career insights into the field of law by allowing them to step into the roles of prosecution and defense legal teams to try a case in the courtroom. Prepare and take your case to court. Grapple with ethical issues, craft oral arguments, question witnesses – all while striving for the ultimate outcome of a courtroom trial simulation.

2026 Program Dates
