Oregon's Classroom Law Project (CLP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping youth "become active, engaged, and informed participants in democratic society." On its resources page, K-12 social studies teachers will find a range of materials for teaching civics and law, including a number of lesson plans that engage young citizens with contemporary legal issues and debates. Educators can best browse these lessons via the Teaching Materials link, where lesson plans, readings, mock trials, role play activities, handouts, and more are organized by topics such as First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Congress and Lawmaking, Criminal Law, and more. The CLP also allows instructors to explore this wealth of material with a bit more ease via an Online Library, where users may conduct a keyword search or filter material by grade level, topic, or type of research.
