Students invited to register for summer camp at Legislature

High school students who have an interest in law, government, leadership or public speaking are encouraged to register for the 2013 Unicameral Youth Legislature, which will convene June 9-12.

The Unicameral Youth Legislature is a four-day legislative simulation conducted at the State Capitol Building and coordinated by the Clerk’s Office of the Nebraska Legislature. Student senators will sponsor bills, conduct committee hearings, debate legislation and discover the unique process of the nation’s only unicameral.

Students will learn about the inner workings of the Legislature directly from senators, staff and lobbyists. Bills will be based on legislation considered during the current legislative session.

Registration forms can be obtained from the Legislature’s Unicameral Youth Legislature page and the UNL Big Red Summer Academic Camps website. The registration deadline is May 15. Scholarships may be available.
