R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Richardson High School Law Magnet program is
providing students with a strong foundation on which to build; and
WHEREAS, Utilizing an interdisciplinary curriculum based in
theoretical research and its application, field experiences, and
technology skills, the RHS Law Magnet program offers a rigorous
course of study; students are not only equipped with legal
knowledge and skills, but also with an understanding of the
fundamental principles and values that characterize the American
legal system; the school features an extensive law library, which
supports the research and writing component of the program; and
WHEREAS, Active learning opportunities include mock trials,
field trips to law-related settings, and community service, and
students can pursue pertinent internships; those selected to join
the mock trial team, known as the Legal Eagles, learn how to bring a
case to court and attend competitions throughout the state; law
magnet students can further benefit by participating in the Law
Review, a social group that promotes school spirit, interest in the
legal professions, and camaraderie; and
WHEREAS, The continuing vitality of the legal profession in
Texas depends in large part on the enthusiasm of young people for
the study of the law and the pursuit of justice, and the Richardson
High School Law Magnet program is helping to prepare young people
who are dedicated to participating in our constitutional democracy;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby honor the Richardson High School Law Magnet
program and extend to all those associated with it sincere best
wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Richardson High School Law Magnet program as an
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
