Project PEACE
“Peaceful Endings through Authorities, Children and Educators”
- Project PEACE has the power to transform lives, and it is a great tool for improving school climate by allowing young people to develop the skills of peaceful conflict resolution, care for others and restorative justice so needed in our world today.
- Project PEACE combines mediation with anti-bullying education and youth court procedures to make each participating school, and the world beyond, a better place.
The four sessions will start with an overview on December 10, 2024, and then have these three sessions follow: - Mediation (January 7, 2024)
- Anti-Bullying Education (January 14, 2024)
- Youth Court Procedures (January 21, 2024)
A Pennsylvania lawyer attending all four sessions will get 3 substantive CLE credits and 1 ethics CLE credit; if you attend less than all of the sessions, you earn substantive credits only.
A Pennsylvania teacher earns Act 48 hours by participating.
All credits will be applied after the final session on January 21st.
Registration is free but required for credit. Donations are welcome.
This training is sponsored by a generous grant from the international law firm of Green and Spiegel through the kindness of Jonathan Grode, U.S. Practice Director and Managing Partner of the firm. Jon has a long history with both LEAP and the PBA having written every Pennsylvania statewide mock trial problem (and a number of national ones) since 2007. Thank you, Jon, and Green and Spiegel.
