They embraced the challenge of making complex subjects accessible and engaging to a broader audience.

Ideation Phase and Topic discussions

Acknowledging the visual nature of their generation, the students agreed that their blog posts would be accompanied by relevant images.

These images not only serve as a visual introduction to the team behind “The Prescriptive Jurist” but also as inspiration for the visually-driven content they intend to produce.

As the evening drew to a close, the young authors of “The Prescriptive Jurist” left the library feeling inspired and ready to tackle the issues at the forefront of healthcare, law, and IT. With fresh perspectives and a dedication to exploring the impact of these fields on society, these high school students are poised to make their mark on the blogosphere.
