TeenPact’s 2024 Judicial Event: A Week of Transformation

This year, TeenPact’s Judicial event at Liberty University School of Law brought together an incredible group of students for an immersive week of legal education and spiritual growth. One student, Abigail Henderson, shared her powerful journey, which encapsulates the essence of what this event offers.

A Week Like No Other

From the moment students stepped onto the Liberty University campus, they were plunged into a world that combined rigorous academic challenges with profound spiritual experiences. Abigail noted, “This week has heavily impacted my life. My law firm is my favorite part of the week.” This sentiment was echoed by many students, highlighting the unique blend of academic rigor and community.

Cultivating Skills and Friendships

TeenPact Judicial is not just about learning the law; it’s about shaping future leaders. Students like Abigail learned to develop their strengths and recognize their weaknesses. “This week has both helped me cultivate my strengths and realize my weaknesses and shortcomings. I have made a lot of friends (finally),” she shared. The environment fostered personal growth and the forging of lasting friendships.

Academic Excellence

The event’s structure included pre-event study, interactive lectures from Liberty Law School professors, and practical training in oral argumentation. “The special emphasis on appreciating the Judeo-Christian roots of our judicial system integrates biblical worldview into both study and conversation,” explained Jordan Armga, the Program Director. These sessions prepared students for the highlight of the week: the Moot Court Tournament. “I’ve improved in public speaking and learned so much about the law,” said another student, reflecting on the intense yet rewarding experience.

Spiritual Growth

Beyond academics, TeenPact Judicial is a time for deepening faith. Morning worship, devotionals, and evening sessions were integral parts of the week. “I’ve grown in my relationship with the Lord. The people here truly care about me, and they love the Lord,” Abigail expressed. The combination of intellectual and spiritual growth created a transformative experience for many.

Leadership and Encouragement

The TeenPact staff played a crucial role in guiding students through this journey. Event Director John Legg remarked, “Seeing students grow in confidence and faith throughout the week is incredibly rewarding.” Abigail’s testimony was particularly moving: “This week has brought me closer to God, and I have gained some great friends who I will definitely keep in touch with in the future.”

Aryn Rozier, Administrative Director, highlighted the long-term impact of the Judicial event: “Over the years, I’ve seen students transformed by the TeenPact Judicial program. The blend of rigorous legal training and spiritual growth sets them on a path of leadership and faithfulness. I’m continually amazed by their development.”

Assistant Program Director Grant May shared, “The impact of this experience goes beyond the courtroom. It shapes students’ character, strengthens their faith, and equips them to be leaders who can articulate and defend their beliefs with confidence.”

A Lasting Impact

As the week drew to a close, students reflected on their experiences. For Abigail, TeenPact Judicial was more than an event; it was a life-changing experience. “I will never forget this week as it was incredible,” she said. The impact of the event was evident in the students’ newfound confidence and strengthened faith.
