Program Highlights

Law Library
Another feature of our campus is a room within the campus library we have dubbed the “Law Library” which contains an extensive collection of legal reporters and professional journals that have been generously donated to the school by UNLV Boyd School of Law and various private anonymous practitioners. The books are available for student review and research and the room is also home to several laptops dedicated to the Internet legal research provider of LexisNexis. LexisNexis is an excellent resource for students to learn and understand as an established system used in the legal profession.

Mock Courtroom
The unique feature of Canyon Springs High School and the Leadership and Law Preparatory Academy is the state of the art Mock Court room located in the 500 wing of the building adjacent to the Broadcast studio. The Courtroom is modeled after similar chambers in the federal courthouse and has wireless Internet abilities. In addition, the room is wired with “virtual interactive” technology which allows participants to interact with students in various locations across the globe or to go on “virtual tours’ with sites that have compatible technology.

Students in the law and debate classes are required to do numerous projects in the courtroom in order to understand the nature of judicial practice and the roles played by the various participants such as the advocates, judges and the jury. The Courtroom is also the home of the “Lloyd D. George Lecture Series” where an invited guest of the community is invited to speak to select students each quarter. The Speaker series is a proud tradition that has been established here at Canyon Springs in honor of one of the most dedicated community supporters of the Honorable Federal Judge Lloyd D. George. Many thanks to Judge George for his support since the school was under construction. We hope the speaker series continues to grow as an honored tradition in the community.
