A Corpus Christi, Texas attorneys’ group has been honored by the American Bar Endowment for creating a Kids Law Library at the Los Encinos Elementary School (read the full story here, but note that registration may be required to view the article). With a grant of $1,000 from the Texas Young Lawyers Association and $250 from other sources, the group was able to garner donations of age-appropriate books on a variety of legal topics, including biographies of Supreme Court Justices and fictional stories with legal themes.
This sounds like a wonderful project to emulate in New Jersey – a way to introduce youngsters to legal concepts through their elementary school libraries.
