Designed as a practical approach to the study of law, this publication offers seven lesson plans focusing on legal topics that have potential significance to high school students preparing to enter the world of work. Lesson plans address the following topics: minors and the law, automobile insurance, employment law, sports and the law, computer crime, warranty and product liability, and hazardous chemical waste. Each lesson plan is organized around (1) a learner objective, (2) pertinent vocabulary, (3) learning activities, (4) a suggested means of evaluation, (5) related statutes and cases, and (6) supportive appendices. The seven lessons stress student involvement in the learning process and can be used in a sequence as a broad instructional unit or taught in isolation. (LH)
