The Street Law course will provide a practical understanding of the law and the legal system that will be of use to students in their everyday lives. It will promote awareness of current issues and controversies relating to law and the legal system; bring about a greater sense of justice, tolerance, and fairness; develop a willingness and an ability to resolve disputes through informal and formal mechanisms; and improve understanding of the roles that the law, lawyers, law enforcement officers, and the legal system play in our democracy. This course is recommended for students interested in a career in law and/or criminal justice. (This course was formerly titled Advanced Citizenship.)
