Law students will deliver a practical, engaging lesson tailored to senior high school students at Crockett High School. Volunteers will spend one or two periods of a Street Law electives class teaching legal concepts and interacting with students. The topic for classes on April 5 will focus on individual rights in police encounters, such as being stopped or arrested by police.
