The Street Law, Inc. program is coming
to Nevada!!
Your help is needed to make the
program more Nevada-focused by briefly responding to general questions.
Attorneys with Family Law and Real-Estate backgrounds are needed to address
the subject matter ranging from child support; discipline, abuse or neglect;
consumer laws, housing discrimination, domestic violence, and more. Law
students, clerks & paralegals may also be able to help. The adaptations to the lessons are needed by May 23. ²³² 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 will 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. 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?
