Classroom Ambassadors
Empowering the Next Generation
The rule of law is not just a legal principle — it is society's promise that even our most serious disagreements get resolved through civil, values-based processes. And that promise comes to life in our classrooms.
You can make a direct impact by joining the Lawyers in the Classroom (or Classroom Ambassadors) program. Whether as a Rule of Law Ambassador or an informed community leader, this program is for every legal professional — lawyer, judge, or clerk — impassioned to inspire the next generation. No prior teaching experience is required; we provide the tools to step into your local schools and empower the voters, advocates, and leaders of tomorrow.
Classroom ambassadors make a difference in many ways: leading one-time lessons, mentoring students over time, or simply sharing your journey into law – you will provide living proof that the rule of law belongs to everyone. Whatever your availability, there is a meaningful role for you.
Hear from WSBA's Jeanne Marie Clavere on why this is one of the most direct and
meaningful ways we can live up to our oath. Visit the WSBA YouTube channel.
How You Can Extend Your Impact
- Lead the Conversation: Use our turnkey toolkits to lead engaging, age-appropriate lessons on the U.S. Constitution, and the rule of law. Demonstrate in person why a civil, values-based legal system matters for a functioning democracy. Restore confidence through dialogue, whether with a one-time visit or continuing engagement. 
- Mentor Future Leaders: You might be the first legal professional many students meet. Show them that they have a seat at the table as the future voters, advocates, and leaders of a better future.
- Initiate Local Partnerships: We provide outreach tools in partnership with the Administrative Office of the Courts to help you initiate partnerships with schools in your own neighborhood.
