The Law Related Education program is co-hosting a new program called Project R.E.A.L.  Classes get to sit in and observe a real courtroom in session and then a volunteer attorney can do a follow up visit a few weeks later to go over what the students saw in the courtroom and answer questions about the judicial system (speaker is at the teacher's request).  Interested in more information about these exciting tours teachers?  Contact Marcia Ellis   marciae@nvbar.org  

We are also looking for volunteer attorneys to visit the classrooms, interested in volunteering a few hours for this great program attorneys?  Please contact us!
