ED LAW sets the bar for legal education at El Dorado

El Dorado High School has a new Academy on campus. ED LAW is a law program designed for any student interested in a career in the legal field. Students can take a variety of courses, including law discovery and business law, and participate in the prestigious Mock Trial program, as well as professional exposure opportunities. Academy options allow students to take all available accelerated academic courses, participate in other on-campus programs and still complete the ED LAW requirements. One of the additional opportunities for students is Peer Court. When a student commits a non-violent misdemeanor in Orange County, they have the option of being judged by their peers. El Dorado hosted its first peer court this fall, and will host another event on Tuesday, Feb. 28. Students serve as jurors, and determine the appropriate sanctions for the convicted student.
