Southern University Law Center to Host Know Your Rights and Limitations Program for High School Students
Southern University Law Center’s (SULC) Clinical Legal Education Program will host a Know Your Rights and Limitations workshop for high school students on February 11 at the Southern University F.G. Clark Activity Center. The program will run from 9 a.m. to noon and is designed to equip students with essential knowledge and practical tools for interacting with law enforcement and other authority figures.
“We are excited to host our first Know Your Rights and Limitations event,” said Virginia Listach, director of Clinical Legal Education at SULC. “Investing in our students is an investment in our future.”
The Law Center’s Clinical Legal Education program is working in partnership with the East Baton Rouge Parish School System and the local police departments to build a clearer understanding of right, respect and responsibility when dealing with the police.
“Our teens possess power and potential not yet realized, they just need the knowledge to move forward,” said Listach. “Most will interact with the police, our community partners, at some point in their lives and we are committed to making this interaction positive for both our youth and the police to advance a healthier working relationship in the community.”
The program will take place each spring semester for 11th and 12th graders.
