Why Should I?

A Fun Way to Learn About the Law (2ed)

Rules of the road, divorce, crimes and neighbourhood disputes are among the many aspects of our legal system that touch upon the everyday lives of Australian children and their parents - either directly or indirectly through the media.

Why Should I? makes use of cartoons, humour and group exercises to encourage primary school children to read about the law and to research it further through their school library, the Internet or by asking their parents. Available online or in hard copy.
