Abstract
In the Street Law class, law students go out to local middle and high schools and teach those younger students law basics. 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 goal is to provide the middle and high school students with a practical, participatory education about law, democracy, and human rights. 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.
