Thanks to an overwhelming response this year from Florida’s judges and lawyers, most schools in the state have been assigned a legal professional to serve as a resource for law-related education. In some counties, every school has been assigned a Justice Teaching volunteer.
Locally, all of the schools in Duval County have been covered but several in Clay and Nassau still need help. The list below shows the schools that were still waiting to be assigned a judge or lawyer.
Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Fred Lewis said the willingness of Florida’s legal community to make a commitment to the state’s students has been remarkable.
If you can give an hour or so of your time each month to promote understanding of the rule of law, the constitutional structure and Florida’s justice system, consider joining Justice Teaching. Volunteers will be trained and equipped with effective classroom lessons.
