Miami law firm Hamilton, Miller & Birthisel was awarded a $100,000 grant to help fund a mock courtroom and a legal curriculum at Brownsville Middle School.
The William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust awarded the grant to Hamilton Miller partner Marlon Hill for carrying on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., according to a Tuesday announcement. The funds will help turn classrooms at the middle school into a 21st-century courtroom for mock trials and will support law instruction for the students.
