The Virginia Bar Association's Rule of Law Project attracted attention from many media outlets when the pilot program began on Wednesday, February 18th.
The program, which is being piloted in 122 classrooms in Roanoke County, Roanoke City, and Salem, is specifically designed to enhance the teaching of the rule of law to seventh and eighth grade civics students in public and private schools throughout Virginia. The VBA Rule of Law Project is expected to be introduced in other schools throughout the state in the fall, with citizen lawyers in each locality volunteering in each school district to implement the program.
Mike Pace, Managing Partner at Gentry Locke Rakes & Moore, conceived of and developed the program while he served as President of the Virginia Bar Association in 2008.
