The Youth Law Fair is an annual joint effort of the DC Superior Court and the DC Bar and engages teens in mock trials and discussions of legal issues relevant to their lives. The Fair was established to give youth in the District of Columbia a positive, “hands on” experience with various aspects of the law and a better understanding of the judicial system.
