Our Vision:

LawEd emerged from Kates vision and passion to bring the world of law into our classrooms.

LawEd’s mission is to educate and lay bare the misconception around our legal world - ‘taking the law further’. LawEd breaks down complex legal terminology and fear to help todays teenager, young adult and adult learner equip themselves with essential knowledge and life skills around the fascinating world of law. We feel that everyone needs to know the law not just lawyers!
