                                 ______


                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 1995
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Miliken Legal 
Club of the Boys Club of New York. The Miliken Legal Club was founded 
in 1992 by Dr. Shirley Smith. This program provides an active legal 
education for high school age students. During the school year, young 
men and women are instructed in legal procedure by lawyers such as 
Larry Carbone of the New York City Con. Ed. Legal Department and by 
Ellen Van Dyke of the Manhattan district attorney's office. When summer 
arrives, several students are chosen to act as interns at the Manhattan 
district attorney's office. The program culminates each year with a 
mock trial that is presided over by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Richard 
Lee Price.
  This program helps make the legal system accessible to many young 
people in my district. In doing so, the Miliken Legal Club teaches 
these students that they have an investment in the law, in the justice 
system and in this Nation. I am proud to have this fine organization 
located in my district.
