The first Laredo ISD Kazen Fellowship Program cohort, composed in part of 10 LISD high school students, graduated from a six-week paid summer internship at the George P. Kazen Federal Building and United States Courthouse last week. The first of its kind in Laredo, under the direction of U.S. District Judge Diana Saldaña, the program was launched to give students an opportunity for mentorship by community partners.
Featured keynote speakers were Judge Saldaña, Cigarroa High School Student Lercy Aguilar, Nixon High School and Vidal M. Treviño School of Communications and Fine Arts Student Reymundo Chaires, LISD Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Gerardo Cruz, United ISD Student Odete Coss, United ISD Superintendent David Gonzalez, and Catholic Schools Superintendent Dr. Guadalupe Perez.

To end their time working at the courthouse, the Kazen Fellows high school students used the skills they learned to prepare for a conclusionary mock trial. Over the past six weeks, the future lawyers took a trial advocacy class and were coached by Federal Public Defenders and Assistant United States Attorneys where they learned how to approach closing/opening arguments and court procedures. The Fellows read and memorized an 86-paged mock trial case packet regarding an alleged bank robbery and each pair of Fellows is trying to argue whether the defendant is guilty/not guilty.
