What People Are Saying

"One of the best textbooks I ever used with high school students. It engaged the most reluctant of learners as well as challenged the students who are innately interested in the topics."

— High School Teacher, on the Street Law textbook

"The Street Law program was very helpful to me. I enjoyed the discussions but mostly learning about consequences and the actual costs of our actions."

— Youth participant in the Legal Life Skills Program

"Still the best professional development I have had in 20 years of teaching. Thank you."

— High School Teacher, on the Supreme Court Summer Institute

"I have found that Street Law lesson plans are easy to follow, provide relatable and up-to-date content, and keep the students engaged by using a variety of teaching methods. Each lesson has always led into more in-depth discussions with the students. I would highly recommend the Street Law curriculum for every school resource officer."
