Criminal Justice students had the opportunity to attend the annual Youth Law Conference hosted by the Oakland County Bar Association. This one-day event introduced students to key legal issues that impact young people, providing insights into civic responsibilities and legal career pathways.

Students participated in workshops covering a range of topics, including:
