Teaching About Basic Legal Concepts in the Senior High School. Module II--The System: Legal Techniques at Work.
Campbell, A. Bruce; And Others
The primary focus of this legal education module, second of five to be integrated into an 11th grade American history course, is on the five legal tools needed to provided for the needs of our society. The functional analysis of government provided by this module allows students to investigate the various branches of government and administrative agencies within a single conceptual framework. In addition, a useful structure is provided for the investigation of the governmental processes of a local community. Four understandings, or objectives, survey the resources at the disposal of a legal system, examining five distinct legal techniques at work on the illustrative social problems of pollution and highway safety; explore each legal technique to discover the roles of various officials and private citizens in its operation; consider techniques of law that might be ill-designed or misused; and examine how effective treatment of a social problem by the legal system may depend on assignment of appropriate legal techniques to work on the problems. The format of this module follows that described for Module I, SO 007 673. (Author/KSM)
