Law-Related Education is...
The teaching of rules, laws and the legal system that actively involves students to prepare them for responsible citizenship. LRE provides instruction in legal rights, responsibilities and the role of the citizen and requires students to practice the application of law in potential real-life situations.

provide new and experienced school resource officers, school probation officers, teachers and administrators LRE training and instruction that is research-based and proven effective.
