Creekview High School Law Academy students Joanna Boyer and Makaylia Askew just returned from a whirlwind trip to New York City. The trip was their prize for winning the Harlan Institute/ConSource Virtual Supreme Court Competition last year. At the competition, one of the finals judges was current Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The students were able to attend a Constitution Day Celebration featuring a Q & A with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and they went backstage to meet her in person.

Boyer and Askew then were honored and gave a speech at the ConSource/iCivics Constitution Day gala dinner. The dinner also honored Wells Fargo lead attorney and in-house counsel, C. Allen Parker. During the trip, the Law Academy students attended two Broadway shows and visited the World Trade Center memorial and Statue of Liberty. Law Academy Director, Jonathan Ray accompanied the students at the event and stated, “at all times, these students represented CFB, Creekview, and the Law Academy spectacularly!”
