In this 4 week course, we will study why we need laws, how do we know if laws do what they are supposed to do, and the moral side of laws.

Class experience

- To begin to think like a lawyer, which means to see every side of the argument and challenge their own beliefs to find the truth
- That creating laws is not just writing down words on paper and walking away - laws need intentional and focused thought to get the outcome that is desired
- A foundation for other legal classes in this series
These lessons are how I opened up my Criminal Law classes at the high school where I used to teach. I found them to be very effective in getting the kids to think at higher levels of abstract thought.
Just a tool to take notes or brainstorm ideas - whatever the student is most comfortable with.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
The only thing that might be sensitive is on the last day, we will discuss the "Moral Side of Murder," which is a lesson I borrowed from a Harvard professor. You can find it on Youtube if you wish to check it out before taking the class. I use the first part of the first video where the professor talks about the trolley car and operating on people.
