<p>quick clarification:
HOBY is completely disconnected from Law, and only vaguely related to business (meaning one short, half hour simulation.) Nor does it have a one week duration, each state seminar is only 2-3 days long (usually free-many applicants are sponsored by Rotary Clubs, etc.) although HOBY does host a World Leadership Congress (WLC) that lasts for 1 week, but it is VERY competitive and costs $1,500.
VERY good leadership program, I attended both my state seminar and WLC and learned a lot and made many new friends. Life changing, but you have to really want to be there in order for it to make the greatest impact. Attitude = everything, and while nearly everyone there is academically advanced, by no means is that crucial.</p>
