Mr. Gee believes that in addition to teaching the practical aspects of law, the innovative program will instill "respect for "the legal 'system "of the country" in young people. It will help them realize that the law and the people who enforce it are positive rather than negative forces. If the initial pilot seminars prove successful, Mr. Gee says the program will probably expand into several other Utah high schools. "I personally believe a law course taught by a qualified lawyer or law student should be a basic element of every high school curriculum," he says.
