BYU Conferences and Workshops BYU LAW CAMP PRE-ARRIVAL INFORMATION WELCOME! We are excited you have chosen to come to BYU this summer. Please read the following information carefully. If you have questions, please contact us. We look forward to your participation. RECEIPT You received an e-mail copy of your receipt upon registration. Please verify that all information (camp dates, payment amount, etc.) is correct. Please notify us if you see an error. ADMISSION AND STANDARDS (BYU Honor Code) Participants attending this program must maintain the standards of Brigham Young University (i.e., high standards of honor, integrity, language, and morality; abstinence from tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, and harmful drugs; and modesty in dress). Shorts worn on campus must be knee-length. Sleeveless shirts or tank tops are not allowed. Skirts and dresses must not have slits that come above the knee. Dress standards are strictly enforced in the cafeterias and on the main campus. A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained. Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles. Men's hair should be trimmed above the collar, leaving the ear uncovered. Earrings for men are unacceptable, and men are expected to be clean-shaven. Beards are therefore not acceptable, except for documented medical reasons that must be coordinated with Conferences and Workshops. MATERIALS PRESENTED AT CAMP As part of their BYU Law camp experience, participants will travel to the federal courthouse in Salt Lake City, where they will observe actual court proceedings as well as a mock trial simulation, in which law students, playing the roles of attorneys, will try a case in front of a judge. Up to six camp participants will be invited to act as witnesses during that trial, and the other participants will act as the jury in the trial. The case this year involves a woman who is being charged with the murder of her abusive husband. The evidence that will be presented is not graphic, but the themes are mature. CHECK-IN AND ORIENTATION Check-in will be Monday, August 6 from 8:30 9:30 a.m. in room 126 of the Heritage Halls Central Building (HRCN).
