thinkLaw exists to create a world where critical thinking is no longer a luxury good. They help educators teach critical thinking to all students, not just the highest achieving ones at the most exclusive schools.

This is why thinkLaw increases educational equity by giving all students access to critical thinking. They do this through their award-winning curriculum that uses real-life legal cases in upper grades and fairy tales and nursery rhymes in lower grades as a hook to unleash the critical thinking potential of all students and powerful professional development that helps educators apply rigorous inquiry strategies that help them transform from asking “what” and “how to” to “why” and “what if.”
