VALS’ Fourth annual Street Law Program

Where: Overfelt High School, 1835 Cunningham Ave, San Jose, CA 95122

Time: Varies according to class period (see the sign-up sheet for more details)

Street Law brings volunteers (law students, attorneys, and anyone else who'd love to get involved)

into high school classrooms to teach the students about the 4th Amendment and individuals' rights

against unwarranted searches and seizures. This 3-day event culminates in a mock trial in which the

high school students will get the opportunity to prosecute, defend, or act as jury in a 4th Amendment

case.

This year, we have 2 high school classes participating in this program! We'd like to have 2-4 volunteers for each class to ensure we provide the students with a great experience.

If you would like to volunteer for the program, please sign up for a class (or classes) HERE.

The sign-up form includes additional information regarding participating classes and times. ALL class

levels are welcome to volunteer! In previous years, volunteer slots have filled up soon after this notice

so if you would like to participate, please sign up soon!

NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT IS NEEDED!

Training and a run-through will be provided. The date and time for the training will be announced

in the coming weeks.

Feel free to email us with questions!
