******************************************************************************************************************


LAWS (Law in Action Within Schools) is a partnership between the University of Toronto Faculty of Law and the Toronto District School Board that was launched in 2005. LAWS’ goals are to help young people learn about the law and justice system and support them to succeed in school and to access and succeed at post-secondary education. Each year, LAWS serves over 360 grade 10, 11, and 12 students attending inner-city high schools.

LAWS provides a range of interactive learning experiences that expose students to legal issues, the legal system, and the legal profession. By using legal education as a tool, the program assists students to gain entry to post-secondary studies and become informed and engaged citizens. 

Currently, LAWS is implemented at three Toronto high schools with diverse populations: Central Technical School, Harbord Collegiate Institute, and Monarch Park Collegiate.

 

LAWS has three program streams:
