Professor Roe directed the Street Law program from 1983-2018, in which law students teach semester-long elective courses in District of Columbia high schools, correctional settings and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Street Law employs innovative, interactive teaching methodology that models due process of law and fundamental constitutional and democratic values.
