The Civil Justice Street Law Seminar series is designed to be a practical, participatory education program for Maryland residents. Through its hands-on cooperative learning activities, faculty members balance each seminar with real-world legal information in bite-sized components to facilitate the participant's understanding of concepts conveyed. By the end of the seminar, all participants will be exposed to list of ideas and answers related to their individual needs. Through this series Civil Justice hopes to empower participants to access their legal rights and responsibilities in the near- and far-term.

Organizations interested in scheduling and/or co-hosting a Civil Justice Street Law Seminar series should contact CJ's Deputy Executive Director, Phillip Robinson, at (410) 706-0174.
