The Francis Burt Law Education Programme groups participate in community legal education tours that may include:
- an empty court activity – court room layout and court personnel;
- observing a court in session (Supreme Court, District Court and Magistrates Court); and
- scripted mock trials that are appropriate to the age of the group.Â
Our programmes are mapped to the Western Australian curriculum and are specifically tailored for Year 3-6 primary school, Year 7-12 high school, TAFE, university and community groups.Â
Professional development opportunities for teachers and other professions are also available.
