Ten A-level Law students from South Sefton Sixth Form College are about to embark on the trip of a lifetime when they jet off stateside to compare the legal systems of the United States with those of the UK.  The students will be visiting New York for six days and will be looking at the UN Headquarters and the New York Police Museum.  They will spend a day at Brooklyn Law School campus and another day with US attorneys from the law firm, Duane Morris, to see a case in action in a New York court as the guests of Phi Delta Phi, the law fraternity of one of the college governors, Ian Scott.

The College is delighted to have this strong link with Phi Delta Phi whose total inititiated membership exceeds 200,000 people. More judges, governors, senators, representatives, cabinet members, ambassadors, American Bar Association presidents, Association of American Law School presidents and law school Deans have come from the ranks of Phi Delta Phi than from any other legal fraternity.

However, it won’t be all work and no play for these lucky students!  They will also have a taste of life in the Big Apple, taking in the sights and sounds of Manhattan with visits to the Empire State Building and a theatre show on Broadway.  They will also pay their respects at the recently opened 9/11 Memorial Museum and enjoy a meal at The Hard Rock Café in Times Square.

Prospective students will have an opportunity to find out more about the Legal Eagles’ visit if they come to the College Open Evening at 5.30-7.30pm on Thursday 22^nd March.
