Crump Law Camp

Crump Law Camp The National Bar Association (“NBA”) established the National Bar Association Crump Law Camp (“Law Camp”).

“The Law Camp, which is designed to provide high school students with an enjoyable and comprehensive introduction to the challenges of a legal education, attracts students throughout the United States from diverse backgrounds.” Since the first class of Law Campers convened at Howard University in July of 2001 for a life changing experience, the two-week residential camp has graduated more than 300

youth from over 40 states. The Law Camp, which is designed to provide high school students with an enjoyable and comprehensive introduction to the challenges of a legal education, attracts students throughout the United States from diverse backgrounds. Since only 10 percent of the nation's lawyers are people of color, the primary goal of the Law Camp is to encourage young students of color to improve their grades in high school, attend college and enter law school. The NBA's partnership with Howard University School of Law reflects the school's mission of cultivating lawyers who will positively impact communities across the nation and the legal profession. According to the Law Camp’s founding members, "If America is to become a true melting pot, the legal system must lead the way. This can be done only when diverse groups of people bring their cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds into the equation. Therefore, although the camp has an open enrollment policy and is available to all students, its emphasis is on empowering students of color." Founded in 1925, the NBA is the nation's oldest and largest national network of minority attorneys, judges, law students, and paralegals. It has over 80 affiliate chapters throughout the United States and around the world. The organization seeks to advance the science of jurisprudence, to preserve the independence of the judiciary and to uphold the honor and integrity of the legal profession. By providing incentive, motivation, and direction to aspiring law students of color, the Law Camp will help prepare the nation's future lawyers, judges, and protectors of the judicial system.
