Maslon UPLIFT is a mock trial program serving eighth grade students who reflect the rich diversity of the Twin Cities. UPLIFT offers students engaging opportunities to learn from volunteer attorneys about the legal profession, criminal justice, and the court system. This year, UPLIFT will be taking place virtually this spring. Although there will not be a mock trial at the end of the program, UPLIFT will break students into groups with two coaches for weekly meetings.
St. Louis Park UPLIFT will meet on Wednesdays, 4:00-5:00 pm, March 3-May 5. Columbia Heights UPLIFT is still being scheduled, but will likely take place on Thursdays, 3:30-4:30 pm in April. For more information or to become a volunteer, please emailuplift@maslon.com.
