A new collaboration between the Marshall Brennan Program and Propel High Schools has brought local University of Pittsburgh Law students into classrooms three times a week. The law students – “Fellows” – from Pitt will be teaching Law throughout the school year, focusing on the most relevant and relatable topics to high school students. Through discussion, debates, and class exercises, students will develop critical thinking skills, consider ethical codes and consequences of actions, and gain a better understanding of the legal system. As high school student Avery Coles puts it, “Everyone should take Law class – it opens up our eyes to the world around us.”
