One Day "Inside the DA's Office" Program
Our one day “Inside the DA’s Office” program offers high school and college (undergraduate) students an immersive, behind the scenes look at how a District Attorney’s Office serves the community. Throughout the day, participants engage directly with prosecutors, investigators, victim advocates, and other justice system professionals to gain a real world understanding of how cases move through the criminal justice system.
