TPT’s Program Partners introduce the students to potential careers by overseeing project-based learning opportunities that give the students a sense of what it’s like in the “real world”. These programs inspire the students to excel in the classroom because they, too, might want to become a Lawyer or Stock Broker, and have a better sense of the commitment it takes to reach those goals. Thank you to our Program Partners for inspiring our students!
Marshall Mentors
TPT is truly honored to have been chosen by the USC Marshall School of Business to be one of its three Challenge For Charity partners. As part of this exciting partnership, Marshall students visit TPT locations every week to introduce and oversee projects and challenges similar to those they encounter in Business School. Disciplines include marketing, branding, product development and, of course, the stock market.
Prime Time Trials
In the fall of 2021 students from Palms and Emerson Middle Schools participated in the Prime Time Trials, a mock trial program that culminated in an actual “trial” presided over by Judge Aenlle-Rocha on Zoom. Loyola Law School students wrote the fictional case and then spent 10-weeks meeting with the students in preparation for the “Trial of the Century: Jeff Sleazos V. Tesla.”
In the spring of 2022, we added two new schools to the Prime Time Trials Program: Marina Del Rey Middle School and Webster Middle School! Marina Del Rey Middle School was awarded a victory in the Spring 2022 Prime Time Trials competition, held on Zoom on Thursday, April 7. Thank you to the Presiding Judge Margaret Morrow, the Law Students from Loyola Law School and local Law Firms and Attorneys.

Emerson Community Charter MS was awarded a victory in the Fall 2022 Prime Time Trials competition held on Zoom on Thursday, November 17. Thank you to the Presiding Justice Arthur Gilbert, Loyola Law Students and to the following law firms and local Law Firms and Attorneys.
