Do you like to stay up to date on the latest true crime news? Are you intrigued by interesting lawsuits? Do you find weird laws and crime stories interesting? This class is for you! Each week we will meet up and chat about a law and/or crime story that intrigued us. This class is aimed to be student-led, but I will prepare stories to discuss just in case students' topics do not fill the entire 55 minutes. This class will not build on previous classes; therefore, students can come and go at any time.
Learning Goals
Students will explore different areas of law as they discuss interesting current-legal events.

Parental Guidance
Due to learning about the different types of murder and other crimes against the person, we will need to describe these violent acts; however, no pictures will be shown and nothing will be discussed in a grotesque or disrespectful manner.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
