The State Bar of Nevada's LRE

law, the legal system, and their rights and responsibilities through
activities that promote cooperative learning, problem solving, and positive
interactions between them and
members of the legal community.

Education State Coordinator. If you have any LRE-related questions, please call

Court
Tours
The Law-Related Education program is
co-hosting a program with
Project R.E.A.L. called COURT TOURS. School 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
Kathleen Dickinson for
more information.
We are also looking for Court Tours volunteer attorneys to
visit the classrooms; interested in volunteering a few hours for
this great program, attorneys? Please contact us!
