Canyon Springs High School is Clark County School District's "Law and Leadership Magnet." As part of our ongoing, "Leaders of the Future Empowerment Series," we contacted and partnered with local female legal experts and scheduled an event to empower our girls. Some of the experts who agreed to attend were Lieutenant Governor, Lisa Cano Burkhead (Video), Judge Tierra Jones, Assistant District Attorney, Brigid Duffy, Dean of the UNLV Law School, Leah Grinvald, Attorney Gillian S. Barjon, and the President/CEO of the Las Vegas Raiders, Sandra Douglass Morgan (Video).
