    Though I was disappointed about missing out on my first choice of high school, I quickly realized that the Law Magnet was a far better option for me. Students at the Law Magnet are taught how to be better students, citizens, and leaders of their community. I am grateful that our school administration has put together such a top-notch group of teachers. Nearly all of the ones employed by Law are adored by their students. At the Law Magnet, the best-of-the-best students meet the best-of-the-best staff.

    I'm proud to be a Law Magnet student!

    The law magnet has an incredible staff that always makes sure you're more than fine. The law magnet focuses on college readiness, implementing critical thinking skills through the teachings of law. The school offers three clusters Criminal Justice, Pre-law, and Government. When I got to the law magnet I felt very welcomed. The upperclassmen in extracurriculars like Mock Trial, Skills USA, Explorers, Moot Court, and Debate go out of their way to become mentor figures to incoming freshman. All in all, the law magnet is a welcoming school with a variety of extracurriculars, and a caring student body, we call it our second family.
    The JBS Law magnet is a fantastic way to learn about law for anyone that is interested. With top notch administration and many ways to interact with people of law, the experience is truly one of a kind. The freshmen, seniors, and juniors actively go to a courthouse to observe cases both criminal and misdemeanor and the seniors go to various locations for internships. All of these opportunities open all of the students up to many valuable connections to be made through networking, ensuring that their law related future is as bright as can be.
