Abstract
This law-focused resource booklet is intended to help secondary level students learn about the civil law portion of Iowa's judicial system. The materials are designed to help students understand how to deal with conflict in a peaceful and orderly manner and how to cope with decision making in personal law situations as related to the family; the market place; the court of law; and the world of work. Section one; comprising about one half of the guide; contains objectives; case studies for student use; and questions for discussion on the following topics: civil law; court procedures; injury and property damage; motor vehicle torts; world of work; personal finance; love and marriage; and students and school. Section two contains a set of law-related competencies for primary level (K-4); intermediate level (5-8); and secondary level (9-12). This section will be especially helpful to teachers when they are developing law-focused curriculum across grade lines. Section three consists of a bibliography of law-related resources and a list of service organizations. (Author/RM)
