My Project

I am requesting books and games for the opportunity to learn about the financial and legal world. This project will help students be able to grow and think about financial and legal history, rulings, and theory. Often times, books or textbooks encompass too much content. This text is straight to the point and written at an academic level suitable for high school students.

As students in the Law Academy, my students need to be able to determine and interpret court decisions, they can't do that, if they can't understand the writing or if they can't access the content, stopping them from learning.

Let my students think for themselves!
