Street Law,
Inc.'s first and largest international program began in South
Africa, where the South African Street Law Program is active
today at over 18 universities throughout the country. The program
trains law students to teach in area schools and community settings.
Participants conduct a national mock trial competition; an annual
youth parliament project; a national magazine for youth; and radio
and television shows devoted to practical legal education. The Democracy
for All Programme was established to promote the democratic
values of the new South Africa using participatory teaching strategies
so successful for Street Law, Inc.
Street Law, Inc. helped establish public legal education programs
under a Ford Foundation grant for three countries in East
Africa -- Uganda, Tanzania
and Kenya. It is currently working
with these local partners to expand these efforts.
