Justus System, Inc

We are a 501(c)3 organization committed to securing a future for Black children and families. With Missouri cutting $140 million from our public schools, there are major gaps in education. Economic violence, the school-to-prison pipeline, and racial discrimination contribute to police brutality and mass incarceration. Our work is preventative. The Future Lawyers Camp provides ongoing mentorship after our week-long camp to ensure that our kids do not slip through the cracks. Many of our students are victims of poverty, the foster care system, have experienced homelessness, or have parents that are incarcerated. We have a proven curriculum with pre and post tests that show the impact of our work. After the full mock trial, students have a graduation and receive ongoing mentorship until they pass the bar
