About the LRE Projects
Law-related education (LRE) projects flourish at national, state, and
local levels. Some projects have many full-time staff and produce a
wide range of programs and products, while others have primarily part-time
and volunteer staff who focus on more limited outreach.
The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention (OJJDP) supports the Youth for Justice LRE program, providing
funding through five national organizations to projects in every state.
With that funding, the American Bar Association Division for Public
Education surveyed the state Youth for Justice projects, as well as
other major LRE projects, to gather information for this Web site.
About this Web site
This site contains two major sections -- state and national.
The State LRE Projects section contains profiles of state Youth for
Justice and other LRE projects, an index of the LRE programs and products
most commonly reported by the state Youth for Justice projects, and
a summary of the results of the 1998 survey of the State Youth for Justice
Projects.
The National Youth for Justice Program section contains an overview
of the national program (an adaptation of the Youth for Justice: Making
a Difference brochure) and contact information for the five National
LRE Projects participating in the program.
