Welcome to the Law Focused Education, Inc. Website!
Our hope is that you will make this one of your favorite sites for the latest in civic and law-related education materials and programs. The mission of LFEI is to "plan, promote and support law-related education programs which are aimed at preparing elementary, middle and high school students for effective, responsible citizenship, and which are committed to liberty, justice and the Rule of Law."

This is accomplished through the work of the State Bar of Texas Law Related Education Department. Since 1983, the LRE Department has been a leader in civic and law related education in Texas. We specialize in curriculum development for elementary, middle and high school social studies courses. Workshops and institutes are available to educators throughout the year. LRE also sponsors such programs as the LRE conference, The Academy and Courts of Texas.

One of the longest and most successful partnerships is with the Hatton W. Sumners Foundation. Through this grant we manage the Hatton W. Sumners Institutes on the Founding Documents, editorial contest, LFEI Website, Student Teacher Institute, Texas Citizen Bee and the Being An American Insttutes.

LFEI also works with national organizations such as the Center for Civic Education's "We the People" and "Project Citizen" programs. Through the Center, the LRE Department is involved in the CIVITAS International Civic Exchange program with the countries of Hungary/Romania and Costa Rica.
