Program Models for Students and Adults

For Students

D.C. Street Law High School Clinic
The D.C. Street Law High School Clinic links law school students with the D.C. Public High Schools. The law students, in cooperation with a social studies teacher, teach a year-long elective course in practical law to students in senior high schools throughout the District of Columbia. The clinic benefits law students as well by allowing them to progress in their professional development while providing a service to the outside community.  

Justice Rules
Justice Rules is an education initiative designed by Rhode Island Supreme Court Chief Justice Frank J. Williams and his staff. The program is sponsored by the Rhode Island judiciary in coordination with the Rhode Island Bar Association, the Rhode Island Legal Educational Partnership, the Office of the Attorney General, the Public Defender’s Office, and the Department of Children, Youth and Families. The program provides age-appropriate curriculum for students in grades K-12 and matches legal teaching teams of attorneys and judges with classrooms.  

Justice Teaching
Justice Teaching is an initiative of Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice R. Fred Lewis. The program’s goal is to pair an attorney, judge, or other legal professional with every elementary, middle, and high school in the state of Florida. Justice Teaching is governed by a select committee composed of judges from each of the state’s five appellate districts and twenty judicial circuits, as well as representatives of The Florida Bar, the Florida Association of District School Superintendents, and the Florida Law Related Education Association.  

For Adults 

Citizens’ Law Academy
Citizens’ Law Academy is a public information program offered by the Idaho State Bar and supported by the Idaho District Bar Associations and the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. Attorneys, judges, and staff from the Idaho State Bar/Idaho Law Foundation serve as faculty and discussion leaders for weekly evening classes. Topics are selected by a subcommittee of the Idaho State Bar Public Information Committee, and class participants are chosen from applications submitted to the Bar.

Our Courts
Our Courts is a joint project of the Colorado Judicial Institute and the Colorado Bar Association, in collaboration with the state and federal courts in Colorado, that provides nonpartisan information programs to audiences around the state. Partners in this effort include Colorado colleges and universities, non-profit organizations, and civic groups. Programs are available to civic, community, and business groups, and speakers include judges and former judges, attorneys, and laypersons.
