The Akron Bar Association is looking for volunteers for Street Law.  Street Law is an award-winning, law-related outreach program in Summit County high schools.  The Akron Bar Association Street Law Committee has partnered with area schools, the University of Akron School of Law and various community organizations and government offices to establish Street Law as a high school elective course.  As a volunteer, you will serve as a resource to the teachers teaching Street Law.  You will be in contact with the teacher you are assigned to and may be asked general questions or to come and help teach a class.  Through this you will gain valuable networking experience by working closely with the attorneys who are assigned as resources as well.  If interested, please e-mail streetlaw@akronbar.org.
