Are you interested in law? Do you want to help people in your 
community? Do you want to help make student discipline fairer, more 
meaningful, and more productive? Maybe we're looking for you!

The Berkeley High Student Court is a restorative justice program that 
operates out of Berkeley High School's OCI, and it provides a 
restorative alternative to discipline. We are recruiting students to 
be advocates for the program. You will be learning about how to 
interview offenders, construct statements, and analyze the context 
and impact of the offenders' actions. Advocates will be trained by 
graduate students through a partnership fostered between Berkeley 
High School with the UC Berkeley School of Law.

There is elective credit available for participation, and the class 
meets on Wednesdays and Thursdays after school. Trials take place 
four times a month (two every other week) from 5:30p.m. to 7:30p.m.

Interested students can speak to David Luu in H104 from 9:30a.m. to 
1:30p.m. for an application and more information!
