Besides giving local high school students insight into the operation of the legal system, the YLS Mock Trial program fosters self confidence, poise and the ability to work in groups. This fund was created as a result of the growing success of the YLS Mock Trial program, highlighted by St. Xavier's team winning the state-wide competition and advancing on to the National competition in 1998. The YLS Mock Trial program also receives funding from the Foundation's successful Quid Pro Am charity golf tournament held annually in June. This fund allows CALL graduates to assist with funding the Progarm in future years. Created in 1996, as a joint collaboration between the Cincinnati Bar Association and the University of Cincinnati College of Law, CALL explores the practical, professional and ethical concerns and pressures lawyers experience.
CALL draws from the knowledge and experiences of leading attorneys and other community leaders.
This provides participating attorneys with insights needed to meet these challenges and practical methods to manage them. The Cincinnati Bar Foundation invites you to support these law-related programs through a donation to one of the three restricted funds. This is a personal way to honor an individual for a lifetime of service to the legal profession. The gift also assures that the honoree's ideals are perpetuated through programs which benefit the entire community. A card will be sent to loved ones informing them of the gift, with no mention of the amount.
