Street Law is a national program of legal instruction designed for law students to teach high-school students. Each law student teaches the StreetLaw curriculum at an area high school during one fifty-minute section three days per week for ten weeks. The curriculum includes introduction to law, family law, consumer law, housing law, torts, and criminal law, with topics in contacts and procedure. The law student then tests and grades the high school students on this material. There is also a weekly classroom component during which the law students learn interactive teaching techniques and the substantive law they will be teaching. This class is routinely scheduled on Monday beginning at 6pm. Class times at area high schools vary - students will be offered those times at the beginning of the semester. Textbooks are provided for this book for both UC Law students and participating high schools.
Because the demand for the class may be greater than the current availability, interested students must complete the attached form and submit it to the Registrar along with a copy of your resume and class schedule for the relevant semester.
