STREET LAw: hIGh SChooLS<br />
CliniCs<br />
Students in the Street <strong>Law</strong> Clinic teach practical law to public high school students and adult<br />
learners in the District of Columbia. They help their clients learn such important legal concepts<br />
and skills as reading, comprehending and completing legal forms, responding appropriately to<br />
police and law enforcement, and seeking appropriate remedies for legal problems.<br />
By teaching about the law, Clinic students teach their clients to develop basic academic skills<br />
such as reading, writing, listening, oral expression, problem solving and analytic thinking.<br />
Clinic students develop expertise and teach classes in negotiation, criminal law and procedure,<br />
individual rights, torts, family law, consumer law and housing law. <strong>Law</strong> students engage in substantial<br />
research and develop written lesson plans in preparation for teaching their class. Clinic<br />
students also learn teaching methodology and relevant substantive law.<br />
