The Law-Related Education (LRE) Leadership Conference 2000 will bring together school
and community-based audiences around the theme of how to better engage America’s
youth in our society. We seek to assemble many diverse groups, including:
- the law-related education community of program leaders at the national, state, and local
levels
- bar associations
- teacher trainers
- social studies, history, government, and law teachers
- juvenile justice professionals; and
- community groups working with youth in after school settings
Featured speakers and panels will focus on broad
themes of civic participation in a new millennium, problems and opportunities in civic
education, the changing perspectives and backgrounds of America’s young people, and
strategies for better engaging America’s youth, including service learning as well as
forums and summits that enable young people to discuss and debate public policies. A
special session will highlight the contributions of law to broader social equality in the
20th century.
Workshops, organized into tracks, will focus on
how to understand and better communicate legal and law-related topics within educational
settings. Tracks include:
- Curriculum & Teacher Development
- Community Education,
- Civic Participation & Leadership
- Juvenile Justice
