Street Law

Street Law - Law students teaching practical law in high school classrooms

Civics Learning Project partners with Lewis & Clark Law School to bring Street Law to classrooms in the Portland Metro and surrounding areas.

Each semester, law students enroll in the Street Law seminar and teach in a local high school. Law students meet weekly to practice learner-centered teaching methodology and explore relevant legal topics for their classes.

Street Law topics are an appropriate fit with government, psychology, sociology, and elective law classes. Ideally, law students work with the same class of high school students for the duration of their time.
