Our CIS/HBA Legal Internship students spent all summer honing their legal arguments, culminating in a powerful Mock Trial event last week. A huge thank you to the Houston Bar Association co-chairs for coordinating this year’s program, the mentors who guided our interns, and the law firms who generously sponsored this transformative experience. Your support has been invaluable in shaping the future of these aspiring legal professionals. #CISHouston #HoustonBarAssociation #MockTrial #LegalInternship
