Project Legal Lives Gang Awareness Presentation with Mr. David Hope at PS 94 in Sunset Park, May 1, 2012.

Project Legal Lives was created to bring the criminal justice system to the classrooms of Brooklyn. The Legal Lives curriculum is written specifically to increase the students' knowledge of the law and to prevent juvenile delinquency through the development of critical and analytical thinking skills. Lessons in the curriculum examine relevant case materials related to drug possession, shop lifting, violence, gun possession, domestic violence and bias crime.

These lessons, which encourage interactive learning through role-playing and group discussions, culminate in a mock trial.

Issues raised in the classroom are reinforced through trips to the courts, police precincts and the District Attorney's office.

There are 200 schools participating in the Legal Lives Program throughout Brooklyn.

150,000 5th & 6th graders have participated since its inception in 1990.
