Street law

Street law is a global program of legal and civics education geared at secondary school students.

Its main offices are located in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA.

Other street law approaches include: teaching legal life skills to underserved populations; teacher professional development courses; partnerships with the legal community (both law firm and corporate) to teach about the law and legal careers to secondary students; teaching about rule of law, democracy and civil rights to populations in countries outside of the US; and publishing teaching resources.

Among other publications, McGraw-Hill has published a high school social studies textbook using this approach.
