The John Rowe chapter strives to engage with the greater community through service events each year.  Below is an in-depth list of activities and programs that the chapter hosts or participates in regularly.

High School Law Camp

The National Bar Association’s John Rowe Chapter hosted their first annual Law Camp from July 15th to July 19th. The camp currently focuses on African-American high school boys between 9th and 12th grades. During the week, campers learned basic legal skills and courtroom decorum which concluded with a mock trial. Each side presented an opening statement, direct examination, cross examination and a closing. All participants exceeded expectations, and have without a doubt developed an interest in litigation. Judge Pamela Goodwine of the Kentucky Court of Appeals presided over the trial, while Neely Williams, associate attorney with Stoll Keenon Ogden PPLC, served as co-counsel and mentor to the students. Landrum & Shouse law clerks Alex Henning, Chynna Hibbitts and Clay Thornton served as members of the jury. 

The Law Camp would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of Ms. Whitney Stepp, attorney with Bubalo Law PLC. A special thank you goes out to all of the local sponsors: Beth Winchell, partner at Landrum & Shouse, LLP; Daniel Whitley of Whitley Law Office; and Josh Hicks & Greg Funfsinn of Hicks & Funfsinn, PLLC, for their continued commitment to the development of prospective young lawyers in the Lexington community and throughout the Commonwealth.
