The LRE also is dedicated to providing the teachers of Fairfax County with the information and tools needed to inform students of their constitutional rights and of legal issues facing children today, including discrimination and domestic issues. The LRE's goal is to improve every student's understanding of the justice system and clarify the student's rights and responsibilities in society through its numerous programs. Currently, the planning and implementation of all of the programs is done by volunteer attorneys. One of the most successful programs offered to all eighth grade students of Fairfax County is the Court Tour program. Fifty-four tours are scheduled throughout the school year for approximately 2,000 students that include tours of the Juvenile and Domestic Court, the General District Court, and the Circuit Court of Fairfax County.
LRE members serve as guides for the tours.
The LRE's Children's Plays project presents a choice of mock trials performed by members of LRE to elementary school children during the course of the school year. The LRE has also videotaped four of the plays and they are offered to all schools through the Media Network of the school system. They are also broadcast via cable throughout the school year. Requests from all over the country have come in for these videotapes as they offer a brief mock trial with a teacher's guide. This program is currently being offered to all area middle schools as it is an extremely important issue to both the community and the school system, and the combination of a doctor and a lawyer has a tremendous impact on children of this age.
