About MYLAW

MYLAW is a 501(c)(3) educational organization that provides leadership, life skills, and civic awareness to Maryland youth through unique, real-world, law-related learning opportunities such as Mock Trial, Teen Court, and the Law Links Internship.

MYLAW was originally founded as the Citizenship Law Related Education Program in 1975 and incorporated in 1978. Since that time, it has functioned as the educational arm of the Maryland State Bar Association, with whom we work closely to host the High School Mock Trial Competition, as well as special initiatives including the annual Law Day event and Civics & Law Academies. CLREP rebranded in 2018 to MYLAW - Maryland Youth and the Law.

The Maryland State Department of Education has been a steadfast supporter of MYLaw, as our programs provide students real-world experiences that teach about the legal system and promote productive, responsible citizenship. 
MYLAW's Teen Court is supported by the Administrative Office of the Courts, Department of Juvenile Services, Crane Family Foundation, and Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention as we seek to provide positive, educational alternatives to the juvenile justice system for Baltimore City youth.

A myriad of other supporters, including The Hirschhorn Foundation, BG, Maryland Bar Foundation, and Bar Associations' Insurance Trust and more also provide critical support support each year.
