The Lynn Miller Law Day Book Club for 2022

Street Law, Inc, is a global, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with more than 40 years of experience developing classroom and community programs that educate young people about law and government. The program and content is designed using current research and best practices in the fields of civic education, youth development, teacher professional development, and democracy education.

Since its inception in 1972, Street Law has been providing a legal community partnership program to teach practical law to young people and adults who are most vulnerable to injustice. This program ensures that participants know their rights and build key life skills to help them advocate for themselves and their communities.

By utilizing the Street Law, Inc Legal Life Skills Program of Street Law, the TCBA aims to provide students from the Zone Academy “opportunities to develop the legal knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to live as informed, empowered, and civicallyengaged community members”. With help from the TU School of Law Student BarAssociation, several TCBA members, and various members of the community like police officers and Judges we have a schedule of activities and lessons for the coming semester.

We will be meeting for one hour weekly with no more than 15 students ranging in ages from middle school to high school. All meetings will occur from 4-5p at the Zone Academy, 1401 Charles Page Blvd, unless otherwise noted. Contact Tami Williams at tamiw@ tulsabar.com if you are interested in participating or sponsoring snacks for these weekly sessions.

*This schedule is fluid and could change due to unforeseen circumstances. In that case, a notice will be made to all participants.
