Street Law
Street Law is designed to engage high school students in a critical examination of their legal responsibilities and rights. A judge 'team-teaches' with a high school teacher, using interactive, hands-on strategies like mock hearings, opinion polls, and simulations that encourage students to think about the law and how it affects their daily lives. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide high school students with a sense of belonging in society through empowerment with knowledge of the law.
