$9,400$9,400"Now You Are 18" - The Texas Lawyers' Auxiliary published this educational booklet each year. The Houston Bar Auxiliary receives funds yearly to purchase and distribute the booklets. The books are updated and books are purchased and distributed each school year.
$12,000$12,000The Houston Bar Association's Juvenile Justice Mock Trial Program is now in its 41th year of teaching young teens about law and the legal system. As part of social studies, history, or government classes, students at over 40 participating schools in the Houston area work with the law students and HBA staff to learn about the procedures involved in a courtroom trial. Over a five-week period, the students develop their own case story and assume the roles of judge, jurors, attorneys, defendants, plaintiffs, and witnesses. At the end of the unit, the classes travel to the Harris County courthouse complex where they act out their mock trial in an actual courtroom. The program focuses on eighth grade students, but has worked with special classes of fourth, fifth, and sixth graders, including classes for hearing-impaired students. The program has reached more than 37,000 students in the Houston area, encouraging respect for the judicial system and discouraging entry into the system in a negative way.
