Public Education Publications

The California Bar Foundation is proud to partner with the State Bar of California to educate Californians about their rights and responsibilities under the law through the publication of three public education guides. Copies of all three guides are free and available to the public in a variety of languages.

Kids and the Law: An A-to-Z Guide for Parents - Last updated in 2007
Kids and the Law is a close-up look at laws that define children's rights and responsibilities. Topics covered include alcohol, cars and traffic laws, civil laws and lawsuits, criminal law, curfew laws, drugs, emancipation, fighting and violence, gangs, graffiti, guns and other weapons, juvenile court, parents' rights and responsibilities, dealing with the police, privacy, school rules, sex, smoking, stealing, truancy, and vandalism. This is a helpful resource for parents, teachers, counselors, youth program coordinators, and others who supervise, care for, and teach California's children.
