Law Day at Ramsay IB High School

MCBA 2026 President Clinton Richardson and Birmingham City Attorney Nicole King spent Law Day with students at Ramsay IB High School. King is also a member of MCBA.

Launched in 2023, Ramsay’s Academy of Law is a NAF-certified program designed to prepare Birmingham students for legal careers through specialized curriculum, work-based learning, and professional mentorship. Students gain exposure to the profession through experiences such as mock trials, law school visits, and guest lectures from legal professionals.

Special thanks to Ramsay High School staff member Eduardo Parker for being an excellent host.

MCBA is proud to support opportunities that help students see themselves in the legal profession and better understand the role of law in our society.
