Law Related Education Grants

The LBF awards grants to non-profit 501c3 entities for law-related educational programs benefiting children and/or the public. Law-related education is the teaching of legal rights, responsibilities, and the role of the citizen by bringing together teachers, community leaders, and legal professionals. These programs provide lesson plans for teachers to initiate the critical thinking and problem solving built around the civic content of rules, laws, and the legal system. Topics include the concept of mediation, conflict resolution, the electoral college, and crime statistics and consequences.
