Too many people are uneducated about their rights. You can help.

Originally founded at the Georgetown Law Center in 1972, Street Law sends law students and lawyers into local, public schools to teach practical lessons about law, democracy, and human rights. An affiliate of the national organization, the Street Law Program at the University of Texas is designed to teach Austin students about practical aspects of the law and the legal system. Our lessons range from basic constitutional rights to teen dating violence.

Street Law is an exciting opportunity to escape the law school grind by getting involved in the Austin community and developing dynamic public speaking skills. In addition to our Street Law Lessons, we have a new and exciting mentorship program where law students may volunteer to mentor a middle school student.

We provide step by step, objective-driven lesson plans, teaching materials, and training. No prior teaching experience is required, and we welcome veteran teachers with open arms. All of our hour-long lessons are scheduled for Fridays and taught in groups of (3) Street Law Members. While you're only required to teach one lesson a semester, you may, of course, sign up for as many lessons as you would like.

We hope you'll stop by one of our two meetings to learn more about our organization and sign up for a lesson. Please bring your $15 dues (cash or check). If you have any questions, please email director@streetlawtexas.org.
