Law-related Education

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in the legal system!

Marsha Varvil-Weld

The goal of the State Bar of Wisconsin’s Law-Related Education website is to help educators, students, and the public learn about and understand the legal system through publications and programs that provide active, hands-on experiences. We accomplish this through the volunteer efforts of judges, attorneys, educators, and citizens.

Feel free to explore our resources, volunteer opportunities, and programs. We welcome your comments.

We the People: “I have LOVED using the books in a jigsaw learning activity where students of different reading abilities get the different levels of the book. They all cover the general topics, but cover the specifics differently. So after each group gathers their information they get together to share info. What’s the best is when our lowest readers are able to become experts & share info that the other students don’t know (as it wasn’t in their books!). Thanks for making that possible!!” - Cindy Ball, Jefferson Middle School
