US Grade 9 - 12
Beginner Level
Are you thinking about a career in law or attending law school in the future?  Join me for this ongoing enrichment class where each week we will learn about a topic of the American legal system that is covered in law school.  We'll learn about criminal law, contracts, property, wills & estates, torts, and much more!  

I'm excited to blend my skill sets as a former school psychologist turned lawyer to engage learners in this exciting area of study!  

Each week, we will cover a new topic.  Learners are welcome to join the class at any time. 
No prior experience or knowledge is necessary to join.  

During class, we'll use classroom discussions, real legal cases, and interactive instruction to learn and understand each area of law.  Students are warmly encouraged to participate, but participation is never required.  

My classroom is supportive and inclusive of all learners and learning styles.  My goal is that no learner ever feels singled-out or embarrassed.  Additionally, I am happy to encourage and develop the communication and participation skills of learners who wish to actively participate in class by asking and answering questions and contributing to discussions.  

Class Schedule:
Week of June 17: Introduction to Tort Law: Personal Injury
Week of June 24: Introduction to Tort Law: Landowner Duties & Premises Liability 
Week of July 1: Introduction to Criminal Law: Crimes Against People 
Week of July 8 : Introduction to Criminal Law: Crimes Against Property
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the American legal system through coursework, case law, examples, and discussion.  We'll tackle the basics of law in all areas taught in the core coursework of American law schools.
