| Mission Statement & Introduction |  Law Related Education (LRE) encompasses a variety of programs for students in grades K-12, designed to teach students about law, the legal system, and the fundamental principles upon which our constitutional democracy is based. Activities are intended to foster partnerships between schools and attorneys who volunteer their time for educational purposes.
The Law Related Education Program is directed by the Law Related Education Coordinator, along with committees relating to the individual LRE programs. The program began in 1985 and now serves over 50,000 students and teachers in New Hampshire. LRE provides curriculum resources, development and educational opportunities, interactive projects with attorneys, law firms, and schools across New Hampshire.
