Dear Friends,

2014 was a year of both reflection and looking forward. We examined the many lessons learned from our long history of developing top-notch programs and curricula to teach about the law and civics. And we looked to the future to anticipate the needs of the communities we serve and evaluate the ever-changing role of technology in our work. These reflections—and a lot of hard work by our staff and board—resulted in a new strategic framework to guide us.

Street Law’s new strategy has several key elements, including honing our menu of program offerings to ensure that each one is best-in-class, prioritizing measuring the impact of our programs, and strengthening our partnerships with the legal and education communities that have been the key to Street Law’s success for more than four decades.

In addition to developing a powerful strategy, Street Law added an important mission-focused tool to its arsenal. We worked with our publishing partner, McGraw-Hill Education, to co-author the 2016 edition of its high school government text—United States Government: Democracy in Action. This text has the potential to bring Street Law’s trademark interactive teaching strategies into thousands of additional classrooms across the United States.

Beyond our borders, we teamed up with Georgetown University Law Center’s Street Law Clinic to help six Russian law schools build and implement Street Law programs. Additionally, embassies and other law schools from around the world have stepped up their requests for assistance from us, signaling a renewed interest in strengthening civil society around the globe.

And at the end of 2014, we began work on the 9th edition of our flagship high school law textbook—Street Law: A Course in Practical Law. This edition, which will be available in summer 2015, will be offered in both e-book and traditional textbook formats. It has a fresh new design; updated Supreme Court cases and social science data; and new materials on same-sex marriage, the Affordable Care Act, and intellectual property.

With a new strategy, cutting-edge curricular tools, an expanding network of corporate and law firm partners, a renewed interest in our work in post-conflict and developing countries, and a supportive team of funders and donors (like you!) who make our work possible, we look forward to a successful 2015!

Sincerely,

Lee ArbetmanExecutive Director

About UsOur mission: Street Law advances justice through classroom and community education programs that empower people with the legal and civic knowledge, skills, and confidence to bring about positive change for themselves and others.

We have more than 40 years of experience developing programs and curricula that teach young people about the law and how to use it as a positive force in their lives.

We believe that to achieve a just and fair world, all people need to understand how law and government work, how to effectively advocate for themselves and others, and that they can and should participate in civic life. We also believe that providing this foundation to all people is a community responsibility that is best accomplished through collaboration between the legal and education sectors.

Our works falls into five categories:

• Professional development for teachers that helps social studies teachers improve the way they teach about law and government

• Legal community partnership programs that tap the knowledge of lawyers, law students, and other legal professionals to teach young people about law and legal careers

• Legal life skills programs that empower underserved populations with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to thrive

• Global law and democracy programs that help cultivate a rule of law culture around the world

• Curricula and content that are relevant to students’ lives and delivered via interactive, student-centered teaching strategies

Professional Development for TeachersWe help prepare social studies teachers to use proven methods for building students’ civic skills and improving students’ civic knowledge and participation.

Supreme Court Summer Institutewww.streetlaw.org/scsi

This nationwide program strengthens and expands instruction about the Supreme Court of the United States through professional development for social studies teachers. Since 1995 we have trained more than 1,200 teachers who have in turn impacted over 300,000 students.

This initiative is funded by and delivered in partnership with the Supreme Court Historical Society.

Civics & Civil Rights InstituteThis professional development institute helps social studies teachers expand their knowledge and learn new methods for teaching about civil rights. Teachers examine key periods in both past and present civil rights movements, as well as legal concepts and civil rights issues related to public policy, civic engagement, and advocacy.

This program is part of our Closing the Gap initiative and is funded by the Norflet Progress Fund.

Coming in 2015!Street Law will launch new professional development programs to support high school government and law teachers.

Legal Diversity Pipeline Programswww.streetlaw.org/acc & www.streetlaw.org/nalp

Street Law partners with corporate law departments and law firms to tackle the dearth of diversity in the legal profession. The Pipeline Programs encourage young people of color to pursue legal careers by providing them with role models, career education, and hands-on experiences in the field of law. Our staff trains volunteer legal professionals and law students to teach students in diverse high school classes about law and pathways to the legal profession.

54 companies and ACC chapters, nine national law firms, and six law schools currently participate at more than 105 locations across North America. Collectively, more than 1,000 volunteers reach approximately 4,500 students per year.
