Forms of assistance. The Center for Law and Education (CLE) possesses the capacity to help a wide range of people – educators, policy makers, program administrators, parents, students, and advocates – with very high-quality work (drawing on both our educational and our legal expertise) of a variety of kinds:

• Writing in varied genres

• Program design
• Both short-term and ongoing technical assistance and consulting, on program implementation and resolving problems
• Training
