The CBA’s 2019 LAW Camp consisted of two, week-long camps in New Haven, Hartford, and New Britain from July 8-19. This camp exposes high school students to the legal profession and gives them instruction on critical and analytical thinking to help them succeed in their educational and professional careers. During the week, students visited courts and participated in panel discussions, advocacy training, and prepared for a mock court case.

Throughout the week, over 60 campers from across the state were coached by more than 30 CBA members who volunteered their time to answer questions and guide the students as they learned the techniques and skills necessary to effectively present their mock court case.

This was the second year the CBA assisted in organizing LAW Camp. Hon. Angela C. Robinson, now of Wiggin and Dana LLP, and Sung-Ho Hwang of the Law Offices of Sung-Ho Hwang LLC, founded the camp in 2011.
