Project Description
***THIS PROJECT IS FOR FALL 2024 1L MSU COLLEGE OF LAW STUDENTS ONLY***
Access to Justice issues will be discussed at all sites. Some sites require participants to pass through security protocols, including metal detectors. If you are visiting one of the courts, you may need to remove belts, jewelry/watches, cell phones, and bags may be searched. Travel lightly to promote ease of entry.
We recommend all participants wear their Foundations Week Polo shirts and business casual pants (not shorts nor jeans).
All participants must check-in at the welcome event held in N130 Business College Complex. All transportation will depart from the Business College Complex and you must check in to receive your confirmed site, bus number, and table assignment.
