This is the sequel class (sort of) from my Law School for Teens - Weekly - Ongoing class. We do the same process in this course, where we cover topics taught in real law school, but at a high school level.

You do not need to take my original Weekly Course to take this course. I separated this course for those students who have already completed my original Weekly course, so that if they want to learn more about the law, they can do that without repeating the same classes. If you want to start your learner here, you can do that without missing a beat.

The goal of this course is to teach students to think critically while also exposing them to the legal process and the inner workings of law schools. We will look at classes from the topics of Contracts, Criminal Procedure, Property, Civil Procedure, and all the other law school courses you might find in law schools around the United States.

If you are a student from outside the United States, this course will still expose you to the thinking of a lawyer, which is useful no matter where you practice law. I've had many students from other countries go through my other law courses, and they've all found value there.

My goal is to teach this course with a whole year of lessons. As an Ongoing course, you can jump in and jump out when it suits your schedule without feeling like you needed to learn the previous lesson to be caught up.
