ABA Division for Public Education: Resources: Overview




 
About the National Law-Related Resource Center (NLRC)

The American Bar Association's Public Education Division created the NLRC in 1991 to collect and disseminate information on law-related education (LRE) programs and resources, substantive legal topics, funding sources, and teacher and resource leader training opportunities. Today, the NLRC serves K-12 schools, college and university liberal arts faculty as well as the general public. NLRC can point you to magazines, newsletters, technical assistance papers, anthologies, syllabi, bibliographies, videotapes, software, posters, journalists' guides, law client products, law career information, and hundreds of law-related educational products and services.

Another good resource for law-related education information is ERIC, the world's largest and most widely used educational database. Through ERIC, you can find publications on trends and issues about the teaching and learning of many social studies topics, including LRE.

Who can get services from the NLRC?
The Resource Center is available to anyone by telephone, mail, internet or FAX. Among our target audiences are K-12 educators, attorneys, college-level faculty (in teacher education and liberal arts), and community organizations working to improve public understanding about the law.
