The report describes the Law in American Society Project which is designed to foster law education for elementary and senior high school students. Emphasis is upon developing unit and new course designs and training teachers in the study of law. Detailed accomplishments (paralleled with fourteen objectives for the purpose of this report) are given for the period of September 1970 through September 1972 and include: incorporating activities, courses, guides into the curriculum of the Chicago Public schools; testing various procedures for infusing the study of law into instructional programs; improving student attitudes toward the law; increasing student knowledge of the law; increasing the teachers' knowledge of law and case study approach through in-service training; establishing effective liaison activities; providing student instructional materials; translating specific series and legal content into the Spanish language; and using and involving community groups, agencies, and institutions in the project's activities. An analysis of recent activities prompted recommendations for the continuation and expansion of the majority of the project's activities. New goals for law-focused education include law-focused audio and video tape productions; an increased number of student instructional materials in Spanish; implementation of extensive police-school liaison activities; field activities; student managed activities; teacher seminars; and others.
