Lawyers in the Classroom - May 4
The YLS has been paired with 5th and 6th grade classes at Decatur Elementary (7030 N Sacramento) to participate in Lawyers in the Classroom on the morning/early afternoon of May 4. Using materials developed by the Constitutional Rights Foundation of Chicago, the project aims to help local elementary students understand the U.S. Constitution and our legal system. Volunteer attorneys will be provided materials and asked to attend a one hour training on how to lead interactive lessons. Transportation is the responsibility of the volunteer. For more information or to volunteer contact Skip Harsch at malcolmaharsch@gmail.com.
