What is People’s Law School and Why You Should Attend
Have you ever wondered how the legal system really works? You’re invited to attend People’s Law School to find out. Whether you’re a student, a parent, or a retiree – or just someone who wants to be more informed – People’s Law School is for YOU!
This community program, hosted by Sinas Dramis Law Firm in collaboration with Ingham County Bar Association, is open to non-attorneys to learn about our state’s legal system and the laws that affect our everyday lives.
When?
People’s Law School is a six-week program, taking place on Tuesday evenings, from October 14, 2025, through November 18, 2025. Each class is 1.5 hours long, 6-7:30 pm. You will not only have the opportunity to learn from some of the area’s most distinguished legal professionals, you will also have the opportunity to ask questions.
Where?
All six sessions will take place at the James B. Henry Center for Professional Development, located next to the University Club and across the street from the new McLaren Hospital on Forest Rd. in Lansing. On-site parking is free.
What?
People’s Law School is taught by judges, justices, and attorneys who are passionate about making the law accessible to everyone. You’ll gain insights into:
- Our state’s legal system
- Tenant-landlord rights
- Family law
- Personal injury law
- Probate issues
- Criminal law
Why?
The most important information to know is why you should attend People’s Law School. Certain aspects of the law change frequently, and for many of us, it’s hard to stay up-to-date. We believe it’s your right to understand the laws designed to protect you. We want to help Lansing residents stay informed because knowledge is power.
Plus, it isn’t every day you can ask an attorney a complicated legal question, and many of us don’t regularly brush elbows with local judges. People’s Law School is your chance to do that! Come and learn from the area’s foremost thought leaders in our state’s legal community and get answers to some of your most pressing legal questions.
