The Street Law Program at the Akron Bar Association is looking for two more law students to volunteer at local high schools. Street Law is a practical elective course taught throughout many high schools in the Summit County high schools. The time commitment will be 1-2 hours a week, but will still be a valuable opportunity to get involved with the local community. Please email streetlaw@akronbar.org if you are interested in volunteering or have any questions.
