Lawyers Teaching for Change

Law Careers Pipeline Program

Calling all lawyers and judges!

We are excited for another school year of the CWBA’s "Lawyers Teaching for Change” program. This program brings our legal community inside the classroom, with the goal of inspiring children of diverse backgrounds to pursue a career in law.  

The program is currently running in third, fourth, and fifth-grade classrooms and includes a lesson on the practice of law and a mock trial. The program can be presented in two approximately 1.5-hour sessions, or the sessions can be combined into a one-day approximately 2.5 hour session.
