Students would enroll at Saddleback for the Spring semester, attend the class on Thursdays afterschool from 3:15-5:45 pm in Room D13, participate in vigorous and fun classroom discussions on current issues including the law, and start their college careers while still in high school.
No other school in Orange County offers this exclusive pathway into the Law field other than SJHHS.

SJHHS English teacher Brian Willis encourages students, “Students have many incentives to take this class.They can get easy access to a college class right here on our own campus. They can also get a head start on their college career while saving a bunch of money, which is so critical in these days of students graduating with heavy college debt… For high school students, it is completely free and it transfers for credit to any university you decide to attend. It also looks great on a college application to say that you have already taken a college course (in law nonetheless) and handled it. They love seeing that advantage for prospective incoming freshmen.”
The topics discussed in class include legal problems associated with family relationships , impairment of physical and mental health, property ownership, insurance coverage, contracts, crime, torts, and so much more.
The class begins on February 16, 2017.
