The teacher's manual includes detailed instructions and legal information to help conduct the class, relevant appendices such as a glossary, legal documents, extracts from laws and statutes, and advice on extra curricular activities. All state federal and regional standards have been taken into account. Living Law pilot lessons are conducted in six schools in Saint Petersburg and in more than twenty schools in four other regions of Russia. There are several ways that Living Law classes are included in the school program, depending on the municipality and school administration. Some schools offer the Living Law course as a regular part of their curriculum.
Some schools offer it as an elective.
Teachers and schoolchildren respond enthusiastically to the Living Law program because it is interesting and immediately applicable to their daily lives. Here, the entire school offers specialization in law and law-related education from the first grade to the eleventh grade. The school principal fully supports POLS's efforts to create a textbook appropriate to the 8th-9th grade. She allows the authors and law students to test their lessons in experimental classes. Students are involved in special events such as Law Olympiad competitions, mock trials, and other experimental extra-curricular events that enrich the textbook authors' understanding of integrating practical activities with learning experiences that can be passed on to other teachers in Russia.
