The Law & Forensic Sciences Program

District 27's Federal Magnet Grant has provided a unique opportunity to further enrich a student's school experience through our Law & Forensic Science Magnet theme. Every student will have the opportunity to experience the Law & Forensic Science curriculum throughout their three years at the Gerald R. Dever Middle School 180 Q. Exposure to a variety of materials, professionals and practical application is the foundation of the challenges that await the students who enter our school in subsequent years. While no application is required, future opportunities to serve as attorneys and/or judges within our proposed Student Court, Student Council or as members of a future debate team will require excellent academic standing and teacher recommendation.
