Justice Makes an IMPACT!

IMPACT students receive a quick lesson on the importance of copyrights, and the differences between a copyright, patent, and trademark.

On March 28th, IHS hosted a session of the California Appellate Court, giving students a firsthand look into how their state’s high court system operates. The event was coordinated on campus by the IHS Law and Justice Pathway.

After the court’s session, Justices made their way to the IMPACT studio and lab where they toured facilities, spoke with students, and gave an impromptu lesson into the world of Copyright Law as it applies to digital media. Additionally, the Justices explained the variety of ways students’ digital media skills are needed in the court system, opening up many new options for career opportunities.

Finally, students had the opportunity to speak one-on-one with the justices, giving a unique, personalized perspective to specific questions, goals, and concerns.
