Day 8 - Better known as Trial Day. It’s been a long and intense week. Late nights, early mornings. But today, it all comes together. Faculty and staff are ready!

Today was challenging and rewarding. The turn around happens on Day 6. We’re beginning to see each attorney make the leap forward.

Advancing your career in a week isn’t easy. It’s hard. It should be. Hundreds of hours go into each program so this possible. Bonds will be formed. Lessons will be learned. And with any luck, some students will come back and be part of the faculty.

Thank you to our faculty and students in Advanced Custody and Advanced Business Valuation. Remarkable group this year!! 👏👏👏👏

We found an og!

Ben Santillán was instrumental in helping us over the years. He really helped us with how we’re set here at the college. Too many things to name honestly, but his support means the world to us.

He’s a brilliant soul, great dancer and all around great human. If you see him in the hallways at South Texas College of Law Houston, please tell him thank you!
