Lesson in Law at Lochend Community High School
The motion
That the Parliament notes that Lochend Community High School has taken part in the Law Society of Scotland’s pilot programme, Street Law; understands that Street Law is a new form of public legal education, which sees trained law students teach weekly classes in schools as part of the curriculum; considers that Street Law is a highly participatory, interactive way of teaching law to school pupils in a way that makes the subject relevant to them, and believes that this is a hugely effective way of helping to ensure that young people better understand the law, how to access the law, and their place in the legal system.
