About Law
Law is about understanding the rules that help people live and work together. It helps us decide what is fair, solve problems, and protect people’s rights.
Students interested in law often also explore History Explorers, where they learn how rules have changed over time, and Enterprise Explorers, where they explore decision-making and responsibility. At our Law Explorers summer school, students discover how these ideas connect.
Learning and Thinking Like a Law Explorer
Learning about law is about asking questions and thinking about what is fair. On our Law Explorers summer school, students are encouraged to share their ideas, listen to others, and explore different viewpoints.
Students build confidence by discussing scenarios, solving problems, and explaining their thinking. This helps them develop skills that support subjects such as History Explorers and Enterprise Explorers.
