Do you understand the laws that protect you when you are a minor, and how these laws can change when you become an adult? This class will take an in-depth look at the laws for minors, school law, family law, landlord-tenant law, ethics and sexual harassment. Class discussions, guest speakers, and cooperative groups are a large part of this class.
No student can go through a single day without being influenced one way or another by the law. What are your legal rights? What is the difference between a tort and a crime? What makes a contract valid and enforceable? What is a civil suit? Where do you go for legal advice? These issues and more will be addressed. Class discussions, case studies and outside speakers will help you learn how to deal with legal problems and issues more successfully.
