Extractions: Bulletin 107 Teaching street law as part of the curriculum in South Africa What is street law? The street law programme is designed to train law students to teach high school pupils and others about their legal rights and where they can obtain legal assistance. It explains to people "on the street" how the law affects them in their daily lives. Street law also encourages people to think critically about the legal system and to consider alternative forms of dispute resolution such as mediation, arbitration and negotiation when dealing with conflict. At the same time by sending law students out to schools and communities to teach about the law, the street law programme gives law students a unique insight into the legal needs and aspirations of ordinary people. How street law operates The street law programme originated at the Georgetown University Law Centre in Washington DC in 1972. The first South African programme was established at the University of Natal, Durban in 1986.
