Cassandra Smith, of our Jacksonville office, has served as the co-chair of Jean Ribault High School’s Future Lawyers Program for the last 3 years and has also served as a mentor for 4 years. Ribault High is a school in Jacksonville where many students face hardships, yet are among the best and brightest. The Future Lawyers Program matches each student with a local attorney or judge and at the end of the school year, students put on a mock trial. This year’s mock trial involved a wrongful death and went before the Honorable Brian Davis, US District Judge in the Middle District of Florida. The students did such an outstanding job, the outcome was a hung jury!
