Incoming GW Law 1Ls volunteered their time to help spruce up D.C.'s Ballou Senior High School in August before the new school year began. At Ballou, students painted, worked in the library (building furniture and installing an electronic ID system in all books), cleaned, and landscaped grounds among other service projects. In the days prior to the service project, students also visited D.C. Superior Court, the Office of Administrative Hearings, the Arlington County Detention Center, and the Youth Services Center, to learn more about the real workings of courts and agencies. The 100 1Ls got a chance to meet one another as well as Dean Paul Schiff Berman, Lerner Family Associate Dean Alan Morrison, Assistant Dean David Johnson, and upper-level students.
