At Pre-Law Academy, our law courses are meticulously designed to align with various English Language Arts (ELA) standards, ensuring that students not only gain a solid understanding of legal principles but also enhance their language and literacy skills.
This integrated approach fosters a comprehensive learning experience that prepares students for academic success and effective communication.
By immersing students in legal concepts and case law analysis, we provide a dynamic and engaging educational experience that fosters critical thinking, enhances vocabulary, and prepares them for future academic and professional endeavors.
Reading Foundational Skills

Reading Standards for Literature
Through the exploration of legal cases and narratives, students encounter rich case problems that enhance their understanding of human experiences and societal issues.
Reading Standards for Informational Texts:
Our curriculum includes a robust selection of informational texts, such as legal briefs, case summaries, and scholarly articles. Students learn to identify key ideas and evaluate arguments. This focus on informational texts not only develops their analytical skills but also prepares them for research and academic writing in the future.
Language Standards
Engaging with legal terminology is a cornerstone of our program. Students are introduced to various legal terms and concepts, enhancing their vocabulary and language skills. This exposure enables them to articulate complex ideas clearly and accurately, both in writing and in conversation.
Speaking and Listening Standards
Our interactive classroom environment fosters active participation through discussions, debates, and presentations. Students develop their speaking and listening skills by engaging in thoughtful conversations about legal topics, presenting arguments, and responding to peer feedback. This collaborative approach enhances their ability to communicate effectively in various contexts.
Learning New Vocabulary Terminologies
Each class introduces students to new legal vocabulary, expanding their linguistic repertoire. Mastery of legal terminology not only enhances their communication skills but also equips them with the language necessary to navigate complex legal discussions, whether in academic settings or future careers.
