 Legal Stuff Booklets (available statewide).  
Legal Stuff is a 64-page resource booklet developed by volunteer attorneys to answer the most often asked law-related questions of teens. We encourage you to use Legal Stuff as part of your curriculum and to give copies to students to keep for their continued reference.

The Hennepin County Bar Association provides Legal Stuff, free of charge to individuals working with teens — schools, police, community groups, church groups, etc. Since 1993, over 100,000 copies have been distributed throughout the state, and response from educators and teenagers has been extremely positive.

Legal Stuff is available to you without charge except for any distribution costs. If you arrange to have copies picked up from our office, there is no charge. If we send the booklets to you, the shipping cost is $15.00 per classroom set of 30 copies.
