Abstract
Street Law is a class and an initiative in which law students go out to local schools, usually high schools, and teach those younger students law basics—practical, participatory education about law, democracy, and human rights. A unique blend of content and methodology, Street Law uses techniques that promote cooperative learning, critical thinking, and the ability to participate in a democratic society. The Creighton model focuses on community-based topics of timely and particular interest to the student communities and fosters a spirit of collaboration between Creighton and the local communities involved.
