There aren't many places where lawyers are treated like rock stars. But John Barry Elementary School on Chicago's West Side is one of them.
For the past six years, attorneys from Accenture and DLA Piper have partnered with the Constitutional Rights Foundation Chicago (CRFC) to teach students at Barry, many of whom are low income, about the U.S. legal system. Through “Lawyers in the Classroom,” the attorneys teach quarterly hour-long lessons that help students understand how legal issues relate to them.
